Here at EECI, we strive to protect your personal and credit card information as much as possible and are taking every possible step to accomplish this goal. We feel that encouraging the use of Virtual Account Numbers is one of the most significant steps in protecting your credit card account. Although your credit card is completely safe on our website, there are many situations in which your card number can be intercepted prior to reaching us (such as logging on to an unsecured network in a coffee ship or other location, hidden key loggers on your laptop - phone or other device, etc.). In these situations, a Virtual Account Number provides the best protection.
Virtual Credit Card Numbers work by generating a temporary card number that you generate from your online bank account. You set the total amount allowed to be charged and the expiration date of the card number. You also have the ability to cancel the card number at any time in the event that you suspect fraud. Another major feature of a Virtual Credit Card Number is that once the merchant applies the charge, no other merchant or entity can use this Virtual Credit Card Number and the intended merchant can only apply charges up to the amount that you specify.
A number of banks provide you with the ability to generate Virtual Account Numbers from your online bank account. Here are links to several that will provide additional information:
We understand that you're concerned about the security and privacy of your online transactions. This is why we use Sectigo (formerly Comodo) to ensure that your valuable data, such as credit card details, are encrypted when you interact with our site.
We employ state-of-the-art data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions to our site.
Your computer and ours agree to transpose whatever we are sending into an unintelligible "hash" of characters, using a technology called SSL (TLS). For example:
3048 0241 00C9 18FA CF8D EB2D EFD5 FD37 89B9 E069 EA97 FC20 5E35 F577 EE31 C4FB C6E4 4811 7D86 BC8F BAFA 362F 922B F01B 2F40 C744 2654 C0DD 2881 D673 CA2B 4003 C266 E2CD CB02 0301 0001
Without the information on your computer or ours, no one can understand our encrypted communication.
For your safety, please expect anyone who communicates confidential information with you on the Internet to use encryption, the way we do.
Secure Sockets Layer, SSL (TLS), is the security technology for encrypting a link between a web server and a browser. All data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and secure.
Whenever you communicate with us on our payment pages, a small yellow padlock appears in the bottom right-hand corner of your browser as a sign that we are now engaging SSL (TLS). (Another sign on some browsers is that when you enter the secure area of the site, the background of the address bar turns dark yellow or bright green. You'll also notice that http:// is replaced by https:// (The 's' stands for 'Secure').
To generate an encrypted SSL (TLS) transmission, a web server requires an SSL (TLS) Certificate. Checking a website's certificate is good practice that helps you avoid spoof websites, sometimes called "phishing" sites. To check the certificate, click on the padlock. Your browser will show you the name of the owner of the certificate. This name should match the name of the website operator.
Our SSL (TLS) certificates are issued by a leading certificate authority, Sectigo CA. Sectigo (formerly Comodo) is Web Trust-compliant, meaning that their business practices and processes have been rigorously audited according to AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) guidelines by an independent approved auditor (Ernst & Young).
Sectigo High Assurance certificates enable a high level of encryption. They also confirm that a company is a legally accountable organization.
To receive a High Assurance SSL (TLS) Certificate from Sectigo (formerly Comodo), we had to demonstrate to them that we are an existing business, along with our control over the domain you are visiting. When you shop online, you deserve to know who you are interacting with.
Seeing a site with a High Assurance SSL (TLS) Certificate, confirms two essential factors:
