Secure Shopping

Shopping online with Hiho Silver using your debit or credit card is safe and secure. In fact, contrary to popular belief, it's more secure than using your card in a shop or restaurant.Before the card number leaves your PC, it is encrypted using military-strength encryption, then transferred to our secure server software and passed directly to a bank for processing via a secure shopping gateway. The card number is never available to any human being at any stage in the process. The relevant bank or institution will then verify and authorise your card automatically, and if successful, pass an authorisation code back to us to confirm the transaction.We never see your complete credit card details and they are not stored by Hiho Silver. This does mean that next time you shop with us, you will have to input your card number again, which we know might be a little inconvenient. But we hope you'll agree that it's a small price to pay for complete security and total peace of mind.
