Payment service provider Computop and SafetyPay has announced a strategic global partnership. As a result, Computop now offers SafetyPay as part of its Paygate payment platform. With this functionality, Computop expands its range of payment options that enable businesses and consumers to securely conduct transactions globally.
With SafetyPay, consumers with an online bank account are able to shop globally but pay locally, using their own currency to make online purchases from businesses in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe via online bank transfer. Computop Paygate merchant customers are able to offer SafetyPay immediately through this partnership, increasing the secure online payment options they can present to consumers.
“There are 300 million online banking customers around the world, and SafetyPay enables these consumers to pay directly from their online bank account for purchases from anywhere around the globe irrespective of currency and without entering sensitive financial information,” said Dominic Guardino, director at SafetyPay. “We are excited about extending our payment solution through the Paygate platform which is recognised for its fraud prevention strength and compliance on a global scale.”
