Security Statement

At NRMA, we take your security when making transactions very seriously. We have employed state of the art security technology and procedures so that you can buy with confidence.

There are three main issues when buying online.

First, can you trust the organisation you are buying from? NRMA is one of Australia's most trusted brands. As Australia's largest member-owned organisation trusted by over 2.3 million people every day, you can be sure we have your interests at heart.

Second, is the information secure as it is transferred? When you provide us with your payment details for your annual membership fee via your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc) and press 'Place My Order', a request is sent to our web servers (computers that host the website). Our server then sends a unique 'key' and certificate (to prove its authenticity) back to your browser, instantly.

Your browser uses the key to encrypt the information before sending it back. Our web servers decrypt it at the other end using a copy of the unique key that was sent.

This also occurs each time we process your annual membership renewal, if you have provided us with an automatic direct debit request.

The encryption we use is Extended SSL Certificates capable of 256-bit encryption, turning your data into information only available if you have the key. 256-bit encryption means trillions of possible combinations - virtually impossible for someone to hack.

The level and sophistication available will depend on the capability of your browser. You may want to update your version to the most current.

Third, are your financial details handled securely? Our payment gateway is hosted by SecurePay which is level 1 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant.

Being fully approved under the highest level of compliance, you can be assured that your details remain secure throughout the transaction process.

In general, when buying online follow these simple guidelines:

  • Look for the letter 's' after the 'http' of the website address. This means the site is secure
  • Buy from reputable companies that you have heard of. Look for a physical address and phone number. Rest assured that making transactions with NRMA will be a safe and pleasurable experience.
