PayPal Security Updates

PayPal are making investments and improvements to their infrastructure over the next few months. Some clubs will have received emails from PayPal notifying them of this. I am currently investigating changes that may need to be made as a result of PayPal's updates. Once I have determined what is required I will let you know.

Note that if Club System updates are required, there is a chance that all clubs who use PayPal will be required to upgrade to the latest version in order for PayPal to continue to work - I will let you know as soon as possible if this is the case so we can set plans in place for this to happen.

More info (technical) can be found here: https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&widgetview=true&id=FAQ1913&viewlocale=en_US

Let me know if you have any queries, otherwise watch this space for further details.
