Important E-Commerce Security Change - Please read carefully

Our Ecommerce Merchant, the National Assn. or REALTORS® has been working with us since October to meet new requrements of th ePCI Standards as put forth by the credit card companies. One of those standards is the communication method of SSL that needs to be retired and replaced with TLSv 1.2.  On March 23rd, NAR will be retiring the SSL on E-Commerce live so only the TLS v1.2 method will work. This takes place at 8:30am CST

What does this mean for you?   Make sure you are not using an old browser as it can't support TLS. If using Chrome, Firefox or Safari these browsers auto-update each time you use them so your settings should be fine. IE users will need at least IE 8. For IE 8,9 and 10 
you will may need to change a setting. Please click here for more info on how to update your settings before the March 23rd security update.
