AcceptEmail

www.acceptemail.com

AcceptEmail is a new, simple and secure electronic billing and payment solution utilising the power of email. Using real-time generated images conveying the current invoice status, a comprehensive EBPP experience is created in the customers’ inbox. In a 3-click process bills are paid straight from the email without manual data entry, resulting in full process transparency & control for the payer and substantially lower DSO and collection costs for the biller. AcceptEmail can be used with any online payment method. It also supports direct marketing, credit management and smart SEPA Direct Debit notifications. The service is cross-industry for B2C/B2SB in various stages of the invoice-to-cash process. Low implementation requirements make the service easy to deploy for any company.

Moneybookers

Moneybookers saw a need to bridge the gap between digital and physical cash more effectively. The Moneybookers MasterCard was launched to fulfill this aim, satisfying the market-driven demand for a way to provide the security and ease-of-use features of the Moneybookers eWallet to anyone, whether they are shopping online or on the High Street, at home or abroad. Linking the MasterCard directly to the customer’s eWallet balance, gives customers instant access to their online funds without the need to split funds and separately pre-load the card.

PBS

The PBS Purchase Secure Application Module (PBS PSAM) has passed PA-DSS validation. The PBS PSAM is comparable in size and function to the SIM card in mobile phones, securing EMV payment card data all the way from the source to the acquirer host system by means of unique encryption keys known only to the processor. This helps the merchant to comply with the PCI DSS requirements. The “plug and play” PBS PSAM solution is thus safer and it is cheaper to install, use and service for merchants across networks.
