Launching in Europe
Elavon, a wholly owned subsidiary of US Bancorp, is bringing its e-commerce gateway solution to Europe thanks to a new partnership with MasterCard company DataCash. The solution aims to increase payment options, reduce fraud and improve sales for businesses taking online payments. (view press release)
Elavon’s e-commerce gateway provides e-tailers with a single interface through which they can connect to multiple payment processors, traditional and alternative. Hosted payment pages relocate cardholder data to DataCash’s centrally managed data centre and security is also ensured through tokenisation. All payment activity can be viewed from an online administrative and reporting portal and businesses can customize payment types, processing endpoints and fraud services to suite their specific requirements.
Simon Haslam, president of International Markets at Elavon believes that combining the Elavon’s acquiring experience, processing reach, and financial stability with DataCash’s gateway expertise, fraud controls and connectivity is a “win-win” for customers.
The solution is to be made available across Europe and will extend to other regions later in the year.
