CREDIT CARD PAYMENT - WHY THIS AND THAT !!!
PLEASE READ BELOW

Internet based credit card transactions are treated as "Credit Card Not Present" or CNP transactions by any credit card issuing banks (this means we don't see your credit card at the time of transaction). Indo-holidays.com as Merchants bear the entire risk for credit card fraud where these types of transactions are involved. This can lead to a high chargeback/credit rate for us. An unacceptably high chargeback/credit rate can lead to our merchant account facilities being terminated by our bank who provides them.

• Credit Cards can pose problems when the person is not present, but there are security features to check
• Imagine the Risks when you can't see the card or the person !!!
• CNP transactions 4% of all transactions, 50% of fraud in the world

To help us the Internet merchants identify potentially fraudulent transactions and reduce the risk of losses associated with fraud, our bank (Bank Negara Indonesia 1946, adress : Jl. Raya Puputan Renon Denpasar-Bali, Phone : (0361) 246 069 - Fax : (0361) 246 070) who deals with our Credit card not present transaction requires us to have three documents before being able to process the transaction, (1)the copy of the credit card both side
faxed to us (2) the photocopy of the guests passport (3) some statement (in our case this is called CCAF, credit card authorization form) stating the acknowledgement of the guest that his or her credit card will be charged in the amount he/she signed for. The person signing the statement, owning to the passport, and the credit card, must be the person who is/will be travelling or reserving the room. ( CASES : So hypothetically speaking, if in the case the son of a family would like to travel, he cannot use his fathers credit card fax copies to make the bookings, unless his father is travelling with him and the booking is under his fathers name, the passport is his fathers etc )

The guest should not worry of the miss use of credit card photo copies faxed, because :

1. THe banks will have those copies (not us)
2. without the statement (CCAF) signed by the guest owning the credit card with the correct figure agreed by the guests and merchant, any transaction involving the guest credit card can be disputed, which leads to a chargeback to who/what ever merchants uses it and charges it. Thats why these three documents is needed, with these three documents, a transaction is valid and protected by the banks
