We at Atlantica Hotels & Resorts are committed to keeping your personal information safe. Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
Why do we require a credit card for Internet reservations?
By securing your online reservation with a credit card, you are eligible for our Reservations Guarantee. If your reservation cannot be honored, the host hotel will provide a room at, and transportation to, another convenient and comparable hotel, and pay for telephone calls to notify family of the lodging change. The host hotel will also pay the full cost of the first night's lodging rate, plus tax. Any advance deposit will be refunded.
MARFIN EGNATIA BANK credit card payment security
The MARFIN EGNATIA BANK undertakes the clearance procedure of your transactions ensuring absolute security. When inputting your card’s information, the bank does not automatically debit your account but blocks the money. When your booking has been invoiced only then is the amount debited from your account.
Your card information is sent to a safe bank page. The Marfin Egnatia Bank uses the encryption technology SSL (Secure Socket Layer) 128bit as a security certificate.
SSL is a worldwide internet standard that offers encrypted SSL communication 128bit. In order to recognize an encrypted SSL transaction, you will notice on the browser a small yellow locket and will then be linked to a https:// page. Your pc will send its request via encrypted SSL to the banks server. The server sends back to your pc the security certificate, the confirmation that you have visited the correct page and your public key. To continue, your pc uses the public key to encrypt confidential information (e.g. your card number) and sends it to the bank’s server which uses your public key for decryption.
