Online Shopping

Secure Shopping:

Kathmandu has been working with the community for over 20 years and we understand the importance to you that credit card transactions are secure whether online or in store. We are committed to this, utilising the latest technology we give you a 100% guarantee that your details are respected and safe.

How do we do this?  
 - Credit Card Numbers are processed securely using a 256-bit AES data encryption method.
 - We employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocols to ensure information provided over the internet is transmitted securely.
 - All Cardholder information is stored and processed in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Website and Credit Card Security

We take website and credit card security extremely seriously and always endeavour to provide a secure, safe platform from which to conduct online transactions. www.kathmandu.co.nz and www.kathmandu.com.au use the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts your information as it is transmitted over the internet. This encryption scrambles details such as credit card numbers, billing details, and delivery addresses so that other computers are unable to decipher the information, ensuring your privacy and security. To ensure you are accessing a secure server, look for the unbroken key or closed lock symbol located either at the bottom left or top right of your browser window. If it appears, then SSL is active. You can double-check by looking at the URL. If SSL is active, then the first characters of the URL will read https rather than just http. It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and your computer. Ensure you log out when you have finished visiting our sites, especially if you access the website from a shared computer.

As additional security, Kathmandu will not process the transaction on your credit card until your order is dispatched.

The result? When you purchase online with Kathmandu, you purchase with confidence.
