If, after our initial assessment of your application, we decline to offer you an account, no setup fee will be payable.

Security is an important concern for both the consumer and the retailer during an online transaction. In reality, an online transaction is often more secure than a transaction in a shop or conducted over the telephone, as the information transmitted online is highly encrypted. Our finance gateway uses proven techniques to ensure the security and integrity of sensitive data.

Our public web servers are certified by Thawte, a leading Certificate Authority, ensuring that both the consumer and the retailer can have confidence that nobody can impersonate Deko to obtain confidential information. Data storage on Deko systems and the communication between Deko and our partner lenders networks is regularly audited to the highest standards to ensure a secure transaction environment. This includes regular third-party testing for vulnerabilities and reviews of application security and access control procedures.
