Your payment is 100% secure

When you purchase a domain name through Efty Pay, your payment is protected from start to finish. We use a regulated, secure payment infrastructure and work only with verified sellers to ensure every transaction is handled safely and professionally.

Below is a clear overview of how your money stays protected throughout the entire process.

1. trusted, regulated payment processing
2. encrypted, secure transaction handling
3. advanced fraud detection
4. strict seller verification
5. holding funds until the domain is delivered

Trusted payment infrastructure

All payments on Efty Pay are processed by MangoPay, one of Europe’s most trusted payment institutions. MangoPay powers major marketplaces such as Chrono24, Rakuten, and Vinted, and is built specifically for transactions in which funds must remain protected until both parties fulfill their obligations.

EU-licensed and fully regulated

MangoPay is an EU-licensed and regulated financial institution, meaning:

• strict oversight from European financial authorities
• adherence to robust compliance and security standards
• secure handling of payments for both buyers and sellers

This ensures your transaction is processed with the same protections as those applied to major European financial services.

Secure, encrypted transactions

Your payment details are encrypted and handled securely through MangoPay’s infrastructure. Sensitive information never touches Efty’s servers.

Additional safeguards include:

• strong customer authentication (when required)
• marketplace-level fraud screening
• continuous monitoring of payment activity

Together, these systems significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized or fraudulent transactions.

Verified sellers only

Before a seller can use Efty Pay, they must complete a mandatory verification process.

For individuals, this includes identity verification.

For businesses, this includes checks on business registration and company structure.

This ensures buyers transact only with legitimate, verified parties.

Your funds stay protected until delivery

Even after your payment is completed, your money remains safe until the seller delivers the domain. The seller only receives a payout once:

1. The domain transfer to Efty Pay is completed, and
2. delivery of the domain name has been verified by our team.

Your funds are never released before the domain is secured in our holding account.

In summary

Efty Pay protects your payment through:

• trusted, regulated payment processing (MangoPay)
• encrypted, secure transaction handling
• advanced fraud detection
• strict seller verification
• holding funds until the domain is delivered

Your payment is fully protected from the moment you check out until the domain transfer is complete.
