Regulations of online payments in Namibia
Namibia’s government has not imposed guidelines for payments in the country. Instead, banks adhere to the guidelines provided by the credit card companies themselves.
For example:
Visa requirements call for merchants to ensure that, at a minimum, the following customer details are collected:
- The card account number
- The name as it appears on the card
- The card expiration date as it appears on the card
- The cardholder’s statement address
- Also check whether the card has a card start date and record this detail.
- If possible, take note of a contact phone number and the name of the financial institution that issued the card.
MasterCard requires that merchants comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.
Virtual Card Services Namibia (PTY) Limited ‘DPO’, is a Licensed Payment Service Provider and is duly regulated by the Bank of Namibia (BoN)/Payment Association of Namibia (PAN) under the Payment Systems Act 2013
American Express recommends merchants only ship to the cardmember’s billing address.
Delivery Information
Most items listed on this website are not held in stock at our premises (unless otherwise stated) and are rather ordered from various suppliers as orders are placed. While we constantly update the site’s prices and product stock levels based on information from our suppliers, it is recommended that you wait for an email or phone-call from us before making payment for any orders placed on the website. We will also give you an estimated delivery time. Certain items such as fully-assembled PCs may have a slightly longer lead-time (due to the fact that they’ll need to be assembled and tested). Should any item not be in stock with our suppliers, we will contact you to suggest a substitute product. At this point, you may accept the substitute, place the item on back-order or cancel the item from your order. Website pricing is subject to change at any given time under circumstance, Even after order has been placed & online payment has been made. Our sales team will contact you with updated price and provide you with a new invoice.
Once the order has been confirmed, you can make payment via EFT or cash deposit. These are the only payment methods that we accept currently. Orders will be placed with our suppliers once proof of payment has been received and shipped once the payment reflects in our bank account. Due to having accounts with FNB bank, we can process most EFTs immediately. This allows us to get products shipped to you much quicker when you make payment via EFT.
Payment must take place within 48 hours of placing the order or we may cancel it or update it if pricing has changed.
