Despite the growing concern about hacking and information system compromise, online money transfer services are generally safe. They have invested in technologies that enhance the safety of their platforms and those of their customers.
Some of the technologies include end-to-end SSL encryption, adoption of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards for user safety, and third-party proprietary security layers such as Norton Seal, Visa Secure, and Mastercard SecureCode.
Also, the high-level industry regulations requiring in part that customer funds be held in segregated accounts, give customers confidence when transacting.
