Security Statement
Loans4Less.com subscribes to a specialty secure online loan application service that uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) when sensitive information is sent or received from your computer. When the "Key" or "Lock" is visible at the bottom of your browser, you can be sure that it really is a genuine venue and not an unwanted imposter. You can also be sure that nobody else can see or alter any transferred personal information.
Your financial information is not kept on Loans4Less.com web server, but on a separate secure facility server managed by a secure industry service provider. This ensures that your financial information remains private and unattainable to unauthorized third parties.
SSL server authentication allows the web browser to confirm a server's identity. Using standard techniques of public-key cryptography, it checks that the server's certificate and public ID are valid and have been issued by a (CA) Certificate Authority listed in the browser's list of trusted CAs.
An SSL connection encrypts all information sent between the browser and the server taking in your information. This provides a very high degree of confidentiality. All data transmitted over an encrypted SSL connection is protected by detecting tampering and automatically determines whether the data has been changed during transmission.
