"NetSecure has hit the mark with SmartSwipe.  This innovative solution greatly reduces the risk of having  credit card information captured by malicious software on a user’s computer.  This product is the real thing – not some “vaporware”.   I recommend SmartSwipe for anyone who uses their credit card online."

Enhanced Security for Online Shopping

Even the so-called strongest internet security cannot completely protect you when you shop online. Most internet security programs will protect your information once it reaches the internet, but hackers can access your personal information while you enter it into your computer and while it sits in your computer's memory. Anti-virus software and firewalls are not enough to protect you from hackers and scammers. With SmartSwipe, your information is protected from the moment you swipe your card, and your information is never stored anywhere on your computer. If you want to be truly safe while shopping the internet, get SmartSwipe today.

Benefits Credit card companies, online retailers and security professionals spend millions of dollars annually to make the internet safe for credit card transactions, yet credit card data is stolen every day. Why is this still happening? Because your computer is vulnerable. Traditional online security mainly uses concepts like encryption and SSL, which only protects information as it goes from your computer to the shopping website. But what happens to your information while you are typing it in, and when it sits in your computer's memory? This is when information is the most vulnerable to malicious software, such as spyware and viruses. Criminals use this vulnerability to steal your credit card information right off of your computer. You will not know they did it until it is too late. SmartSwipe keeps you secure by protecting your sensitive information as you swipe your card. Since your personal information is protected before you enter it into your computer, it is no longer vulnerable to malicious software and hacker attacks.

FAQ I see the "lock" icon on my web browser, and the website assures me their site is safe. Am I still at risk? Yes, the website and transaction system may be secure, but you are still at risk.

How does the SmartSwipe protect me?

Even if the connection between the site you are buying from and your computer is secure, your sensitive information has to travel through your computer before being sent. The SmartSwipe encrypts (scrambles) your credit card information instantly, so your information is never in an unencrypted state.

Can I use my debit card?

No, the SmartSwipe is currently only compatible with credit cards. In the United States it will work with credit/debit combination cards, such as Visa check cards.

Which credit cards are accepted?

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JBC. In general, if the site you are buying from accepts the card, so will the SmartSwipe.

NetSecure continually updates its software and provides it to customers, cost-free and hassle -free, as new technology emerges.
