Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) announced to officially offer PayPal to the growing list of payment options for customers to pay their past-due tolls at THEA’s collections vendor, Valor Intelligent Processing (VIP). PayPal will help put customers at ease when making payments. Some of these key features in consumer protection include: End-to-end encryption: An important element in helping to keep customer data and PayPal transactions secure. PayPal employs a team of security and compliance experts dedicated to implementing and educating customers on industry standards; PayPal Security Key: The PayPal Security Key gives customers a second authentication factor when customers log into their accounts. In addition to a password, customers enter a One Time Pin that’s unique for each login. These two factors give customers stronger account security; and Data Protection: In addition to industry and regulatory encryption requirements, PayPal’s Information Security Policies and Controls are reviewed by independent third parties to ensure that they are following industry standards and guidelines.
