Important message when making an online payment
When making a payment the authorisation process may take longer than usual. You should continue to wait even when the message in the top corner says method complete.
Do not hit submit until the authorisation process has completed. The delay is due to a recent change by our third party to 3DSv2 card authentication to enhance security of online payments.
