Press Release Body: Valentine's day is fast approaching and couples are starting to
to their Valentine's gift shopping before everyone else. There are two common ways
to find a special gift for your significant other, either through retail or

Using the Internet have been a part of people's usual lifestyle because of the

goods online as well as pay their flowers delivery bills, or even book a Valentines
cruise. There are many available ways to pay for their transactions online like
paying through credit or debit cards, e-wallets and more.

careful on your transactions. Make sure that the website offers security through
encryption. You can check this on the browser, the URL should start with https

* Debit card is also becoming popular, in this method you can use your
Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card to pay for your purchases. The personal
identification number (PIN) that you set will be used as a form of a signature
or other identification to complete your transaction. In this method your money
for debit purchases is transferred almost immediately from your bank account to
the merchant's account.

* Paying through "electronic money" or "e-money" is also common these days
to make purchasing easier. This is usually applied on cards with "stored value"
that can be used and reloaded with additional amount. When you use your
"e-wallet" to buy online, the stored value decreases with the same amount that
you used to purchase an item.
