Payment
You can pay for your order by Mastercard, Visa, Solo, Maestro, Delta, Amex or via Paypal. After processing your payment by credit card, the Imperial War Museum online shop does not retain your card details which means you will need to resubmit this information when you place a further order on this website.
When you complete an order and submit your payment details, relevant information is sent to your credit/debit card provider. They will check that the address, postcode, card holder name and CV2 code (the last three digits on the signature strip at the back of your card) match with their records. Your credit/debit card provider will then authorise or reject the transaction based on this check.
In addition, the Imperial War Museum employs a further security check to protect our customers from online fraud where card holders are enrolled with these schemes:
PSD2 and 3-D Secure
Any cardholder can enrol their cards for Mastercard SecureCode, Verified by Visa and American Express Safekey status through their credit card provider.
Paypal 3D Secure authenticates for Standard Payments. When triggered, you will be prompted by your card issuing bank to complete an additional verification step.
If not enrolled, cardholders can still place orders with the Imperial War Museum online shop, subject to the above authorisation process. Cardholders NOT enrolled in the 3D schemes will not benefit from the additional protection against fraud.
