The LINK service from Stripe
LINK is a fast and secure payment service provided by Stripe - a global payment provider.
If you make a payment on ANY website that uses Stripe as the payment provider, you may be offered the opportunity to activate the LINK service. When you do so, you card details and shipping/billing informations are stored on Stripe's secure servers that use banking grade protection. For your protection, no card information is stored on the servers of the seller you are transacting with.
If you activate the service then, when you visit ANY site that also uses Stripe's LINK service, instead of going through the laborious procedure of entering your card details and authenticating with your bank, the LINK service will recognise you and send a one time passcode to your mobile device. You enter that code on the seller's payment page and payment is processed.
- It's simple and secure
- It's optional - you don't have to use it if you don't want to
- At any time in the future you can decide not to use it and enter an alternative payment method, or even use the card that's linked to the service in a fully manual, non-LINK way
