Barclaycard has today, 30th June, announced that it is planning to launch Barclaycard SmartPay, a new payment processing system to help Barclaycard's e-commerce customers manage their cross-border payments.
Barclaycard SmartPay, which has been piloted during 2010, will work by giving organisations access to one single payment processing system to use across markets that can be tailored to provide a range of language and currency settings dependent on where the customer is paying from.
Commenting on the upcoming launch, Paul Cook, Managing Director of Global Payment Acceptance at Barclaycard said "Barclaycard SmartPay will make it easy for businesses which operate across the EU to accept all types of payments online".
When it launches, Barclaycard SmartPay will protect customers with a wide range of built-in fraud and risk tools, be PCI DSS compliant, and will appeal to merchants in key online sectors such as gaming, retail and travel.
Barclaycard SmartPay is planned to launch in Summer 2010.
