Many Banking Institutions in Europe, the United Kingdom
and elsewhere have special privacy rules. These institutions may
offer their customers International Credit Cards that are acceptable
here
in North America. These Banking Institutions also wish to keep their
customers' privacy and security intact, including their customers'
billing addresses.
Recently Credit Card Clearing Companies here in the
USA have begun to offer acceptance of these "International" Credit
Cards on a restricted basis. In order for us to process International
Credit Cards here in the USA, it is required of us to make a billing
address verification when your order is to be filled and credit card
information is presented for authorization. We propose to comply
with both sets of rules.
This is for your protection and the security of your
personal credit card information. There are a number of ways for
us to obtain acceptance of your International Credit Card .... Any
one of these methods will suffice ...
1) Have your Issuing Bank call us in the USA Toll Free.
You can ask your Credit Card Issuing Bank to contact
us by calling CatalogStuff toll free in the USA at 1-877-446-8947
or by lease line / land line at +1-707-778-6299. We present your
credit card information to your Bank and will ask for an address
confirmation from them and/or an authorization (approval) code
for your
transaction. Most International Banks will do this at no extra
charge to you, their credit card customer.
2) Have your Issuing Bank give us their USA
or Canadian Toll Free Phone Number.
You can refer us to your Issuing Bank's phone numbers
here in the USA, toll free or not. We will be happy to call your
Issuing Bank if possible and manually have the transaction secured
with an authorization
(approval) code. Most large International Issuing Banks have a
North American phone number for their Credit Card Holders convenience.
3) You may send us a "Photo ID" with
your address as it appears on your credit card statements:
You can FAX us a copy of your Photo ID, usually a driver's license
or passport with your photograph and address
as it appears on your credit card statements. We do not recommend
that you send this photo and address information by e-mail as e-mail
information may not be secure.
Our International FAX Number for IndustrialComponent
/ CatalogStuff / USBStuff / FireWireStuff and more
is: +1-707-778-0776
Note that if you are using an American Express Card
or Barclays' Bank Visa or Canadian National Bank Visa or Canadian
National Bank MasterCard, these additional steps above may not be
necessary. We will honor American Express, Barclays' Visa and most
major Canadian
Banks' Visa or MasterCard directly without these additional confirmations
as these International Credit Card Issuers offer address verification
through our Secure Credit Card Clearing System. |
