Telephone payment security finally catches up

As merchants move further into the digital world, more and more of customers’ information is being stored “in the cloud”. While there are many solutions designed to protect the merchant’s online presence, the world of telephony-based credit card payments has not changed and merchants still collect credit card information from customers over insecure phone lines.

Sumbit details via secure payment page

Concerns regarding telephoney-based card payments have become so common that the organization who oversees credit card security standards – the PCI SSC – recently highlighted the dangers, and the steps needed to resolve said dangers, that are now facing merchants who accept card information during phone calls. These challenges are resolved through the use of Card By Link. 

Card By Link gives merchants the ability to send a link to a secure page to their customers; and gives customers the responsibility of entering sensitive information directly. Thus protecting the card details and the merchants when processing a transaction over the phone.

For card capture pages shared through SMS there is an additional cost for each SMS sent, which varies by country.
