All connections to paystack services are forced to happen over&nbsp;HTTPS using TLS 1.2 (SSL).&nbsp;Paystack uses&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HSTS<\/a>&nbsp;to ensure browsers interact with Paystack only over HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How secure is Card Information on Paystack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Card details are encrypted using AES-256 GCM while the decryption keys are stored on a separate machine. As such, cards are not stored as plain numbers but securely hidden even from Paystack personnel and systems. The only actions our systems can take is to&nbsp;request that card details be sent to a service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Paystack have Fraud Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paystack has developed an internal decision support system that uses intelligent rules to determine the risk factor of a transaction or customer and blocking payment from being made if it does not pass the necessary checks. This decision is based on a combination of multiple factors such as geolocation, IP addresses, purchase and behaviour history, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Merchants on Paystack have also been equipped with a dashboard that allows them to blacklist customers that have been fraudulent, which further helps the general system to learn and prevent such behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What time does Paystack settle funds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your money is automatically settled to your account in&nbsp;<strong>two working days (T+2)<\/strong>. So payments received on Teusday, for example, will be settled on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Pay by Transfer ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pay with Transfer channel which is currently only available in Nigeria, allows customers to pay you via a bank transfer by tapping on the&nbsp;<strong>Transfer<\/strong>&nbsp;option on the Paystack Checkout and Paystack Terminal. When they tap on&nbsp;<strong>Transfer<\/strong>, we instantly generate&nbsp;<strong>a Zenith or Wema bank account number<\/strong>&nbsp;to which they can make a bank transfer payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most customers make bank transfers from their bank&#8217;s mobile app. Once they do, the transaction is automatically approved, and the paid amount immediately reflects on your Dashboard like any other Paystack payment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paystack is a Nigerian financial technology company that offers payment processing services to businesses and was acquired by Irish-American financial services company Stripe for $200M in 2020.
