Is my payment by card really secure?

We take the security of the information that travels to and from our site very seriously. That's why we chose BNP-PARIBAS's MERCANET payment system, which is one of the safest to date.

During your credit card transaction, you will be automatically redirected to the BNP-PARIBAS secure servers via their MERCANET online payment network. SBE is not aware of your credit card number and receives no indication of it. We are just notified of the accepted payment of your order.

The sbedirect site uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) standard, which is the highest level of security available to date for secure Web applications. SSL is based on public key/private key technologies provided by Verisign, Inc. and based on a 40-bit encryption algorithm developed by RSA Data Security, Inc.

My payment was refused. What do I do?

If your payment by card or Paypal is refused, rest assured that no transaction has taken place, so your card will not be debited.

You can therefore try to make your payment again. First, check that you have entered your card number and the expiry date of your card is not passed.

It may also be the you have exceeded your credit limit. Please contact your bank to verify the amount of this limit.

You can always use another payment method at your disposal on the site. 

Otherwise, contact our customer service, we will assist you in this process.
