Element Payment Services Selected as PCI Compliance Technology Provider by Rollins, Inc.

Element Payment Services will provide Rollins, Inc. with fully integrated, simple and secure payment processing solutions that ease the burden of PCI compliance and dramatically reduce the risk and liability of payment card acceptance through scope reduction.

Element Payment Services, a top 40 U.S. payment processor announces that it will provide PCI compliant processing for Rollins, Inc., a premier North American consumer and commercial services company and parent company of Orkin, HomeTeam Pest Defense, PCO Services, Western Pest Services, The Industrial Fumigant Company, Waltham Services and Crane Pest Control. Rollins will integrate its proprietary Focus business management software application with Element’s Express Processing Platform through Hosted Payments, the payment industry’s first solution to completely remove software applications from the scope of PCI DSS / PA-DSS compliance by eliminating the transmission and storage of cardholder data.

“We have elected to work with Element to process our payments due to their superior technology and commitment to the industry,” said Andy Smith, director of treasury, Rollins, Inc. “We are excited to have our locations work directly through Element’s Express Processing Platform, and expect the transition to be seamless.”  In addition to offering PCI compliance relief to Rollins, Hosted Payments will dramatically reduce the scope of PCI compliance for individual pest control companies within the brand, while maintaining the operational functionality required for running the businesses. Hosted Payments features tokenization technology, which allows merchants to securely access card data for future transactions, without assuming the risk and liability of storing sensitive information through a point of sale (POS) application. Rollins merchants can securely perform scheduled payments and card-on-file billing without compromising their customers’ sensitive information and their own PCI compliance.

“We’ve been working with Rollins’ merchants for some time now through our partnership with several industry-leading Independent Software Vendors in the pest control space. Through this integration, we will now be able to provide the entire Rollins corporation with PCI compliance relief and the most valuable payment processing available,” says Sean Kramer, president and CEO, Element Payment Services.

Partnership Benefits Merchants and Software Providers by Reducing the Scope, Risk, and Cost of Implementing and Maintaining PCI DSS Controls

ATLANTA, GA and PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - April 13, 2010) -  Ingenico, the leading worldwide provider of payment solutions, announced today that it has partnered with Element Payment Services, Inc., a leading provider of PCI DSS compliant payment processing solutions to software providers and merchants. Through this partnership, Element will integrate Ingenico's end-to-end encryption algorithm with its tokenization solution to provide Ingenico's customers with secure end-to-end transaction processing technologies. The fully integrated solution will reduce the customers' cardholder data environment and PCI DSS-compliance footprint.

As an innovator of fully integrated PCI DSS compliant payment processing technologies, Element's well-designed processing solutions have led the industry in risk reduction and transference. Additionally, Element's Hosted Payments (http://www.elementps.com/software-providers/security/hosted-payments/) solution eliminates the need for both merchants and software providers to process, transmit or store cardholder data, removing their applications from the scope of the PCI DSS/PA-DSS compliance requirements.

"We're excited about our newly formed strategic partnership with Element because it will play a key role in delivering Ingenico's overall security strategy to address the entire payment transaction process," says Deborah Dixson, senior vice president of security solutions at Ingenico, North America. "As a proven industry leader and member of the PCI Security Standards Council, Element has the technology, established track record, a talented team, and the industry expertise we seek in a strategic security partner."

Credit and debit cardholder data compromises are at an all time high. According to the 2009 Data Breach Investigation Report by Verizon Business Consumer, 285 million records were breached in 2008. Given this reality and the increasingly stringent PCI compliance requirements, this new partnership will help Ingenico's merchant customers secure their payment environments, protect their brands, and reduce the cost, risk and burden associated with payment card acceptance. 

"Element shares Ingenico's commitment to delivering security solutions that protect cardholder data while transmitted, processed and stored, significantly reducing the scope of PCI DSS/PA-DSS compliance requirements. This partnership will provide a huge value for merchants and software providers," says Sean Kramer, president and CEO at Element Payment Services. 

Element's end-to-end transaction processing technologies are powered by its Express Processing Platform, a purpose-built processing engine architected specifically for security and compliance. Unlike other processing platforms, Express is engineered using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), making it easily adaptable to changing industry requirements.
