Abacus has partnered with AsiaPay Limited, one of the leaders in Internet payment services, to provide Abacus-connected travel agents a safer and wider choice of payment option. With this partnership, Abacus-connected agencies can expand both their walk-in, call-in and online business with AsiaPay’s suite of advanced electronic payment and fraud prevention solutions, all within a 3D-secure and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCIDSS) compliant environment, the payment industry’s highest level of data security.
As per the company release, agencies will be able to offer a variety of payment choices to their online and offline customers globally, covering credit and debit cards, and other well accepted payment methods. With 3D-secure payment processing, online agencies will further reduce their risk exposure of accepting card payments. Alarmingly, 60 per cent of online merchants in a recent SagePay global survey were unsure if their payment partner was PCIDSS compliant, as many service providers are neither compliant nor certified. |
