Companies (including Oasis) that accept and process online credit card payments will soon move to a more secure Internet protocol. This industry-wide move provides increased security for both industry and consumers. Oasis is ready for the change. Here’s what you need to know about the mandated updates that take place as of June 30, 2018.

What will you have to do?

Chances are you won’t have to do anything if you are using a current version of Windows and the current version of your favorite browser. All major browsers will automatically update to use the new standards. If you get a message that your browser is trying to update, grant permission and you’ll be ok. Chrome and Firefox install updates when you close and open them. In Windows 10, Internet Explorer and Edge update with Windows updates.

If you’d like to check your browser’s capabilities, or if after June 30th you get a message that your browser is using “TLS 1.0 or below”, here is what you can do.

Download a third-party browser

If you are shopping and run into an issue, first try a different browser. If you only have Internet Explorer and/or Edge, try Chrome (the world’s most popular browser) or Firefox.

Updating your browser

All major browsers automatically update when new features or security patches are available. If you want to double-check that you are fully updated (and the most protected), use the instructions below.
