Your Credit Report

You found the product you want to buy somewhere on the Internet. Now it's time to pay.
More likely that not, that means that the on-line merchant will be asking you for your credit card information.

Is this the moment you decide to not buy through the Internet after all?

Are you worried about buying on the Internet? If so, you are not alone.

Most people are highly suspicous of using their credit-card for on-line purchases - and with good reason. Credit -or debit- card fraud (1, 2, 3) and associated identity theft have become that much easier with the Internet and can easily cause you a lot of headaches (1). Fraud can hit you years after you purchased something on-line, because most on-line vendors don't just use your credit card number once and then destroy it, but instead keep all your personal information and the card number on file for that long. If, or rather when an unscrupulous hacker (example!) finds his way to that information then you are at risk. Today, tomorrow - or in two years time. Worse, you'll only find out that your card was used without authorisation after you receive your credit-card statement, or when your credit limit has been reached. Of course, card companies will refund you for any fraudulent charges! Or? The card companies are not advertising it, but horror stories abound of people that were defrauded of thousands of dollars/euros (and sometimes much more than their credit limit) - but are still trying to get refunded after years of fighting.

In short, the hype spread by the credit card industry about how safe credit cards are for on-line buying may be just that: hype. Bottom line, buying on-line and without getting a receipt carrying your signature is dangerous. Is saving a few dollars, or the extra convenience of buying something on-line really worth these risks? To be sure, we don't think it is, and that's why we are working hard to deliver a welcome alternative to credit cards: PayPerNet.

The PayPerNet method is not only safe, but also easy to use. And that's not all. There are a lot of other advantages when using PayPerNet, like the possibility to check a vendor's customer satisfaction rating before you buy. Or the possibility to pay other people on-line, to donate money to your favorite charity with every purchase, and last but not least, the possibility to earn real money - not points or chips or other awards of questionable value. And to top it off, PayPerNet is the best way to receive money even if you are not a business, too!

Great! How does it work?

Well... right now, we can only give you an idea of the possibilities of our payment methods, but cannot go into the details. That's because we are very much in the development phase and do not want to pass on some great ideas to our competitors just yet... but watch this space, or sign up to receive our announcements and you will know as soon as we go public with our ideas.
