Through the existing Global Transportgateway, merchants will be able to easily leverage the fraud protection and data management capabilities of Accertify, enabling them to protect against card-not-present (CNP) fraud and mitigate counterfeit and identify theft risks.

Global Payments will provide its merchants in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and the Asia-Pacific region access to powerful yet easy-to-use fraud fighting technology with proven results in reducing fraud, increasing legitimate transactions and improving customer satisfaction.

"The e-commerce segment continues to grow at a healthy pace, and merchants are doing more sales through this channel than ever before. It is vital for all of our merchants to have stringent protection in place, and our agreement with Accertify will give them access to a proven risk management solution that many leading multi-national companies rely upon," said Sid Singh, senior vice president and global head, product for Global Payments. "Chip and pin technologies are also gaining critical mass on a worldwide basis, increasing fraud rates in the card-not-present channel. Our e-commerce merchants will now be able to safeguard their interests without compromising on sales revenues."

"As online transactions dramatically increase each year, more merchants and consumers are falling prey to fraudulent behaviors, especially card-not-present activity. With the ability to mitigate multiple types of fraudulent transactions, including online, call centers, point of sale, and mobile kiosks, Accertify is uniquely positioned to provide Global Payments' merchants with an easy-to-use solution that significantly reduces fraud and protects their customers. Furthermore, by enabling merchants to free up resources to focus on customer care, while decreasing costs related to fraud and excessive chargeback penalties, merchants can ultimately increase their revenue and profits," said Jeffrey T. Liesendahl, Pressident of Accertify.
