FAC is now certified to Allied Irish Bank, Elavon & Barclays for Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™
Hamilton, Bermuda, October 27, 2010. First Atlantic Commerce (FAC), an international, online payment gateway and fraud management solutions provider, today announced its latest 3D Secure™ implementations with Allied Irish Bank Merchant Services (AIBMS), Elavon and Barclaycard.
AIBMS, a joint venture between AIB and First Data, is Ireland’s largest provider of card acceptance services, and a global leader in electronic commerce and payment services. Elavon is a leading global provider of merchant acquiring services. And Barclaycard is one of the largest payment processors in the UK.
FAC is now certified to AIBMS, Elavon and Barclaycard for 3-D Secure™ Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™.
By certifying for 3-D Secure™ with Europe’s leading banks and processors, FAC enables merchants to use FAC’s simple “3-D Secure only” payer authentication solutions to obtain liability shift for chargebacks on certain reason codes.
3-D Secure™ can be used effectively to determine the enrolment status of the Issuing Bank and the cardholder so merchants can pre-determine the risk profile of new consumers in advance of the first transaction. This means that merchants can determine if they would have issuer liability shift on a chargeback based on the authentication response data.
“The key factor here is that our 3-D Secure™ consumer authentication service does not require that the merchant use our payment gateway for clearing,” said FAC’s VP of Marketing & Communications, Tricia Lines Hill. “Merchants can use their existing payment gateway alongside our MPI so the authentication can be done as either a standalone solution or in conjunction with payment processing.”
FAC also offers North American Address Verification services and CVV2/CVC2/CID verification as standalone solutions. Combining AVS, CVV2 data matching and 3-D Secure™ only solutions provides merchants with valuable pre-screening card data.
FAC’s online payment and risk mitigation solutions are compliant and PCI certified, and also available to banks and processors in other regions including Europe, CEMEA and Asia.
