Club Mahindra Travel takes the security of your payments, credit card details, and transactions very seriously. We ensure that your transactions are conducted in a safe and secure environment. To achieve this, Club Mahindra Travel works with HDFC Bank to manage credit card transactions. HDFC Bank protects all the transactions with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, which uses leading encryption algorithms. The process is secure because when HDFC collects your credit card information, it is scrambled (encrypted) so that the data cannot be deciphered easily by anyone other than HDFC Bank. HDFC Bank doesn't share your credit card information with us, as they are the ones that process your card - so your information never leaves the bank!
In order to further increase the security of your credit card, we use Verified By Visa and Mastercard SecureCode technologies. Verified by Visa (VbV) is an online service designed to make Internet transactions safer by authenticating a cardholder's identity at the time of purchase. Verified by Visa software installed at a merchant website activates the cardholder interface during the authentication process.
MasterCard SecureCode is a simple and secure way to pay at thousands of online stores. A private code known only to you and your bank, your SecureCode enhances your existing MasterCard account by protecting you against unauthorized use of your card when shopping online at participating online retailers.

The aim & objective of Verified by Visa & MasterCard SecureCode is to create a level of consumer trust and confidence in online shopping similar to that in the physical shopping environment. It is designed to improve both cardholder and merchant confidence in Internet purchases as well as reduce disputes and fraudulent activity related to the use of Visa & MasterCard payment cards.

Take care when you perform transactions over the internet, make sure that the URL in your address bar is what you expect it to be, and when handling your credit card always look for the little lock icon in browser to make sure that it shows the site you are visiting is secure.
