More on Ingenico and ROAMpay



Mobile Merchants to Conduct Business Anytime Anywhere Without Changing Phones or Carriers




ROAMpay Chose CircleSwipe because of it's ability to

encrypt the Track 2 data
Ingenico, the global leader in secure transaction and ayment solutions, continues its innovative path to provide business owners and merchants with the most secure and scalable mobile commerce solutions.



Today (March 2nd 2010) the company introduced Ingenico ROAM suite of mobile applications including ROAMpay and ROAMbuy to help sales agents, mobile workforce professionals, and merchants reach and service consumers on their own mobile phones.



"Ingenico's mobile applications work on virtually any mobile phone and allow merchants to leverage their existing investment in mobile technology without changing phones or networks," said Christopher Justice, president, North America. "Mobile Commerce represents the ultimate convenience for mobile users to conduct business anytime anywhere. Our products provide a robust and agile mix of mCommerce services including credit and debit payment acceptance, mobile storefront, and customized enterprise business applications to end users." 
Recently Ingenico made a global strategic investment to work with ROAM Data Inc., a Boston-based mobile application service provider and their technology to deliver a breakthrough mobile commerce solution. ROAM's patented technology enables it to be the only provider to dynamically deliver business and payment applications to nearly 200 million US customers, regardless of carrier on hundreds of different devices from smartphones to feature phones running J2ME and Brew.
Ingenico ROAM offers merchants and mobile professionals complete freedom of choice to develop mobile commerce applications that work on the iPhone, BlackBerry®, Google™, and hundreds of other devices. Unlike static, device-specific applications that are costly and difficult to change, Ingenico ROAM is a scalable service that can be changed quickly and easily. For example, when Google™ released the nexus one™ phone, Ingenico had a working application released within two days. The ROAMpay application can be downloaded from the iTunes® App Store or directly accessed on Ingenico ROAM website at www.ingenico-us.com.
"Ingenico benefits our bank and ISO partners by simplifying the sales message to the merchant. There are no complicated discussions about changing phones and carriers. Our partners gain processing revenue quickly and add value to their merchants by offering a unique suite of mobile commerce applications that can run on their existing devices," continued Justice.
"We're making it easy for both banks and ISOs to enable their merchants to accept payments to gain a competitive edge."

Trusteer Takes Top Honor at 2010 SC Awards, Europe

Rappport Heralded as Leading Solution for Securing Browser Communication from Keyboard to Website



LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trusteer, the market’s leading provider of secure browsing services, today announced that it has been named “Best Secure Transactions Solution” in the 2010 SC Awards Europe competition. Trusteer took top honors for Rapport, a lightweight browser solution supported by 24x7 security analysis and reporting services





“For more than 30 years, SC Magazine has held one of the most prestigious and coveted awards in the European information security industry. These awards honor professionals working to secure enterprises and the vendor and channel communities that deliver the most innovative security technologies. For 2010, the judges have declared that Rapport is the best of the best when it comes to securing transactions.
“As the volume and frequency of online transactions continues to grow – unfortunately – so does the sophistication of malware designed to disrupt these transactions,” said Mickey Boodaei, CEO of Trusteer. “Rapport goes above and beyond what traditional security products can accomplish. Unlike solutions which rely on strong authentication, transaction verification and transaction monitoring, Rapport actually protects the data itself – securing Web sessions from start to finish. We’re honored that the industry experts at SC Magazine have chosen to recognize Trusteer for our vision and market leadership.”



Rapport is specifically designed to block financial malware on a machine from hijacking Web browser sessions and transactions, stealing sensitive data such as account credentials and using them to commit online fraud. It creates a vault around data entered and presented in the browser, maintains a tunnel for safe communication with the destination Web site and prevents redirection to look-alike Web sites. The end result for website users is a dramatic reduction in fraud and improved confidence in Web banking, while Rapport provides comprehensive fraud fighting intelligence to financial institutions.



Rapport includes a lightweight browser security solution and cloud-based analysis and reporting services. It is offered for download by online businesses such as banks and also to individuals via Trusteer’s Web site. The solution can be installed in-flow when a customer visits the online business Web site. This one-time process takes only a few seconds.



Award winners were notified at a special ceremony hosted by SC Magazine on Tuesday, April 27 at the Wyndham Grand London, Chelsea Harbour. For more information on the awards and ceremony, please visit http://www.scawardseurope.com/homepage.html
