GeoTrust verification

As soon as you place your order, you are automatically redirected to our secure site. This security is provided and verified by GeoTrust.

Oak Furniture King has chosen to use GeoTrust’s most comprehensive certificate, which enables you to experience the strongest possible encryption supported by your browser.

How to check you’re secured

One of the most recommended ways to be sure your online transaction is safe is to look for the locked padlock icon in your web browser’s URL bar. When you see the locked padlock it is telling you two things:

• The site you are using has a verified SSL certificate which is valid and usable.Your browser has accepted the SSL certificate and has triggered encryption of data between your computer and our site.
• In addition, on many modern browsers, the address bar at the top of the browser will turn green. This means that not only is the connection secured, but GeoTrust Extended Validation has authenticated the identity of Oak Furniture King. Extended Validation is used by major online businesses, including HSBC, PC World, eBay etc.
