all credit card processing done with square
Serious about SecuritySquare’s approach to security is designed to protect both you and your customers. We monitor every transaction, we continuously innovate in fraud prevention, and we protect your data like our business depends on it—because it does. We adhere to industry-leading standards to manage our network, secure our web and client applications, and set policies across our organization.
Encryption and monitoringSquare enables trusted transactions between you and your customers by making secure payments as simple as possible. We do this by bringing to our sellers the technologies and monitoring that once were only available to the largest of merchants.
The Square Reader keeps payment information safe by encrypting it as soon as it’s received. When buyers insert their chip card or tap their contactless card or device, it talks back and forth with the Square Reader using encrypted messages to make sure it’s actually the cardholder who’s paying. The transaction information is also securely encrypted when sent to the buyer’s bank in a way that can’t be read by the seller, Square, or anyone else. We track the purchase as it goes through our software. We monitor your money until it’s deposited into your bank account.
In addition, we monitor each transaction to detect suspicious behavior from the moment it is processed to settlement. Square uses our algorithms to spot and freeze malicious or suspicious activity. We’re looking out for you and your customers at each step.
