Keeping your data secure
Wert takes security seriously, ensuring that your payment details are handled with the highest level of protection. As a licensed financial service provider, Wert complies with strict regulatory standards, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements. All transactions are encrypted and processed through secure channels to prevent fraud and unauthorized access. Additionally, Wert does not store sensitive payment details, reducing the risk of data breaches. By partnering with trusted banking and payment networks, Wert provides a secure and seamless experience for users purchasing digital assets.
What is the blockchain?
The blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger that securely records transactions (but not personal details) across multiple computers, ensuring transparency and immutability. Each transaction is verified and added to "blocks" which are chained together cryptographically, making it nearly impossible for malicious actors to alter any information without being detected. The security of the blockchain stems from its consensus mechanism, where a network of users collectively validates each transaction.
In the context of Artega's services, Wert is the trusted partner handling the blockchain infrastructure, ensuring secure and valid transactions, with no access to personal payment details. For detailed information, you can refer to Wert's Smart Contract FAQ where you'll find further insights on how these security measures safeguard your data.
Using Wert simplifies the purchasing process for you wherever you are in the world and whatever currency you use, all while maintaining high standards of security and compliance.
