First Data Chooses Acculynk’s PaySecure for Internet PIN Debit

First Data to offer Internet PIN debit via Acculynk’s PaySecure

Atlanta, Feb. 14, 2011 -- Acculynk, provider of PaySecure®, the only software service in the U.S. that enables PIN debit payments on the Internet, today announced that First Data Corporation, a global leader in electronic commerce and payment processing, will offer its online merchants PaySecure through First Data’s eCommerce payment processing platforms.

With online fraud on the rise, this solution adds a security measure that merchants can offer their customers during the checkout process. In fact, according to Javelin Strategy and Research’s 2010 Identity Fraud Survey Report, card‐not-present fraud through online purchases rose for the third year in a row to 42 percent in 2009, from 37 percent in 2008 and 28 percent in 2007.

“With PaySecure, we will be able to provide our online merchants another security tool that will reduce fraud, increase savings and provide consumers with another choice that’s already a familiar payment method,” said Souheil Badran, First Data senior vice president and division manager, eCommerce Solutions. “By augmenting PaySecure into our current fraud and security offerings, First Data offers one of the most robust and secure eCommerce platforms in the market. Plus, it is simple for our merchants to implement and for their customers to use during the online checkout process.”

PaySecure brings the security and convenience of PIN debit to the Internet with a patented, graphical PIN-pad that appears over the merchant checkout for the option of PIN entry. Consumers can pay with participating debit cards and a PIN, just like they would use PIN debit at the retail point of sale, and there is no enrollment required or redirection from the merchant’s payment page.
“PaySecure, in use by major eCommerce merchants and airlines, allows a merchant to leverage their existing payment channels, and unlike many other payment methods, it brings immediate consumer adoption,” said Ashish Bahl, CEO of Acculynk. “First Data is integrating PaySecure into their environment to simplify the merchant adoption and rollout process.”
