Online Payments
Your security our responsibility
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea takes Internet security extremely seriously.
All Online Payments transactions take place through secure networks using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This technology encrypts all the information involved in a transaction, for example your credit card details, vehicle registration number or Council Tax account number, so that it is unrecognisable and safe.
