Thursday 25 November 2010 11:16 CET | News

Visa Europe has inked a contract with Irish-based authentication technology provider ValidSoft for the implementation of the latter’s fraud prevention service, as part of Visa’s European processing platform. ValidSoft is a subsidiary of Dutch Elephant Talk Communications.

Under the terms of the deal, Visa is expected to integrate ValidSoft’s fraud prevention services, namely VALid-POS, a card fraud detection service and VALid, an authentication platform.

VALid-POS is a telecommunication technology that confirms whether a cardholder’s mobile phone is within the proximity of the ATM or merchant terminal at which the card is being used. VALid is a voice and SMS telecommunications technology that uses two separate channels to prevent fraudulent transactions.

In March 2010, VALid-POS was granted the European Privacy Seal, certifying its compliance with the European Data Protection law.
