Is Storing Cards and Bank Accounts with GrowthZone Pay Safe?

Yes! GrowthZone Pay uses Stripe as the credit card processor. Cards are NOT stored in your GrowthZone database.

Stripe exceeds the most stringent security standards:

• SSL Protection: All transactions are SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protected. Your information and your members information are securely transmitted during the processing of all payments.
• PCI Compliant: Stripe is a PCI Service Provider Level 1 which is the highest grade of payment processing security. You can rest assured that your members information is safe and secure.
• Encrypted: All credit card numbers are encrypted and safely stored in Stripe's state of the art data-center. This ensures both the security and integrity of your donors information.

Stripe Security Checks:

There are two checks performed by Stripe:

• CVC Failure - The CVC is the three- or four-digit number printed directly on the credit card, usually either on the signature strip or the front of the card. Stripe automatically rejects any payments where the CVC does not match that on the credit card.
• AVS Failure - AVS is comprised of the billing street address, city, state and zip code as it matches what a bank has on file for a purchaser.  Payments that fail an AVS check will continue to be processed by Stripe since there are many reasons why an AVS may fail (such as a purchaser who recently moved).
