Multinational i-Payout to add Internet PIN Debit as a Payment Method

Atlanta, GA, April 10, 2013 – Acculynk Direct, a division of Acculynk, and i-Payout, a payment platform that delivers secure, global payment solutions to multi-national organizations, today announced that i-Payout has integrated with PayLeap enabling online PIN debit payments.

With the integration, i-Payout clients will now have access to Acculynk’s PaySecure® payment method for Internet PIN debit. With PaySecure, users authenticate a debit payment by entering their debit PIN on a virtual PIN-pad during the online payment process.

“We believe the ability to accept internet PIN debit payments will be highly attractive to i-Payout clients, many of whom have users based in countries where credit cards are not widely used and PIN debit is the most important payment method,” said Eddie Gonzalez, President of i-Payout.   “Our clients can now build a more streamlined payments function by offering the advantage of fast, secure internet PIN debit.”

PaySecure is designed to provide an extra layer of security for debit card transactions, helping reduce fraud and charge-backs for merchants, while offering opportunities for sales lift by enabling the millions of consumers with PIN-only debit cards.

“We are looking forward to helping i-Payout grow by leveraging our patented online PIN pad to enable PIN debit, the most prevalent payment method globally,” Scott Miller, PayLeap General Manager & EVP, Acculynk Direct.  “As the industry’s only debit-focused acquirer, PayLeap is uniquely qualified to add value to i-Payout and also to other small and medium-sized businesses that similarly want to thrive in the global market.”

LeapLock Secure Checkout gives merchants total control over their payment flow while reducing their scope for PCI compliance.

PayLeap, an industry leading payment gateway platform and service delivery company, has launched an innovative secure hosted payments form capability called LeapLock Secure Checkout, built into its transaction management platform. This new technology was presented at the opening of the Midwest Acquirers Association (MWAA) show in Chicago as part of an innovation competition, and placed second as a finalist.

LeapLock Secure Checkout was developed in response to other industry solutions that appear to be a more secure method of checkout for online merchants but present a high security risk due to the merchant server still establishing a payment session with the consumer.

Using an embedded iframe, the patent-pending technology of LeapLock can easily and seamlessly be integrated into the checkout process through a simple API. The merchant servers send a simple request to PayLeap which programmatically creates a customized hosted payments page that matches the styling look and feel of the current checkout environment. LeapLock then initiates the payment session between the cardholder thus eliminating the merchant servers from the payment equation.

“Using LeapLock, the merchant servers send a simple request only containing instructions on what the form should look like. So they never transmit or see any cardholder data,” says Aaron McClone, CTO of PayLeap. “This reduces much of the security risks associated with PCI compliance.”

“Many online merchants continue to face challenges with redirects and poor user experiences resulting in lost sales,” says Rod Katzfey, COO of PayLeap. “Merchants who currently use a seamless checkout process have much higher security risks and costs of being PCI compliant. LeapLock eliminates the weaknesses of other solutions by completely removing the merchant servers from the payment equation while providing a branded, seamless user experience.”

PayLeap is working with shopping carts and software developers to integrate the LeapLock technology, and have several merchants utilizing it as well.
