CITADEL'S SECURESWIPE TO DEBUT WITH EXCAPSA
Point of sale terminal protects online users at home with "card present"
facility.
Citadel Commerce Corp., will pilot its revolutionary SecureSwipe
device with Excapsa Software Inc., the company revealed in an announcement
this week
SecureSwipe is a point of sale terminal which enables a user to swipe a credit
or debit card and enter a PIN to conduct an immediate secure payment from home.
Michael Meeks, president of Citadel says his company has "....revolutionised
the way on-line gaming merchants and their customers conduct business over the
internet. The combination of myCitadel Wallet and the SecureSwipe pinpad enables
our merchants to record transactions as ‘card present’ while providing
their customers with a secure, effective and easy to use payment solution not
previously seen in the online gaming market.”
SecureSwipe plugs into any personal computer via a standard USB connection,
enabling consumers to pay securely for gaming site services with either a credit
or debit card. Users can transfer eMoney into their myCitadel Wallet and pay
by physically swiping their credit card at home using an assigned SecureSwipe
pinpad device and electronically signing a receipt. Citadel Commerce correctly
codes the credit card transactions according to card association regulations,
and the purchases are approved because the payments are treated as card-present
transactions.
"We are thrilled to have been selected by Citadel Commerce to pilot their
latest technology allowing our consumers to process credit card payments via
this unique device,” said Jim Ryan, CEO of Excapsa. “Processing
credit card transactions via SecureSwipe provides a true cost effective alternative
for those users whose cards have been declined via traditional methods.”
