Secure transaction: OLX launches a service for safe purchasing and sales

Service ads OLX launches new service to Secure transaction. Now for the 8 million Ukrainians who monthly visit the service, purchase and sale by credit card will be fully protected. The service is implemented thanks to the cooperation with the company “Nova Posta” and UAPAY.

Safe deal makes buying and selling as safe as possible: ordering, transfer money from card to card and shipping now occur in a protected environment.

When purchasing the product users, as before, can transfer money to the card seller, but with Safe money transaction appears on the account of the seller only after the buyer confirms that the package was successfully delivered to the Department of “Nova poshta”, and the product suits it. If the product does not suit the recipient, the money back on his card, and the goods will be sent back to the seller.

Secure transaction eliminates the risk of fraud when using Bank cards for payment. First, the buyer has no risk of losing money when transferring prepayments unscrupulous sellers. Second, users do not need to communicate Bank cards: this information is entered online and protected financial partner OLX company UAPAY.

“We recommended our users to conduct transactions in person, but not always the right product there is in this city. In addition, the market is developing: with the logistic companies and financial instruments, it is possible to obtain the goods from another city the next day and pay for it by transferring money to seller, – says Sergey gapochenko, Director of OLX in Ukraine and Central Asia. Of course, it is very convenient and fast, but there is a risk of fraud. To completely eliminate this risk, we run a Safe transaction and provide a secure environment to make payments from card to card”.
