Payment Security

How your payment data is protected with Stripe and card authorization.

All payments on Yakt are processed through Stripe, a globally trusted payment processor used by millions of businesses.

Card Data Protection

Your card details are never stored on Yakt servers. All payment information is handled directly by Stripe using bank-level encryption (PCI DSS Level 1 compliance).

Authorization vs. Charging

When you authorize a payment in the Split Cost flow, your card is verified and a hold is placed, but no money is taken. The actual charge only happens when all crew members have authorized. If the booking expires, the hold is automatically released.

Secure Checkout

The checkout process uses HTTPS encryption and Stripe's secure payment elements. Your connection to the payment form is always encrypted end-to-end.

Yakt never sees or stores your full card number. All sensitive payment data is handled exclusively by Stripe.
