Barclays Bank website - not secure?

I was going to buy a book from Greenmetropolis.com, but they require me to credit my account online first. I was re-directed to Barclaycard Business, epdq.co.uk, but Opera tells me that the site is not secure as it is using an outmoded encryption method!

Would I be safe to enter my credit card details on the site?

Thanks!

Minerva

    Looking at the registration details for https://www.epdq.co.uk they do appear to relate to Barclays. The address in Canary Wharf looks correct, etc.

    The lack of a padlock doesn't necessarily mean that the site is insecure. The page could be made up of multiple sections, with the credit card area being secured. That said, I don't tend to trust that type of site design myself.
