PayTabs: Not Just Any Payment Gateway

PayTabs: Not Just Any Payment Gateway

“People are the best show in the world. And you don’t even pay for the ticket.” – Charles Bukowski

There are two elements in that quote which resonates with the core business philosophy of PayTabs, i.e. People and Payments. PayTabs began as an idea with the sole mission to create a simple and secure platform for people and organizations to transact around the world.

At the heart of it, the mission seems simple enough, after all people are buying and selling in the new digital economy all the time. But the faultlines begin to appear once you deep dive into solving the problems of the payments processing industry, fuelled by the rapid e-commerce growth globally.

The problems are pretty striking when you look at it from a bird’s eye view:

  • Gap in the market in the context of multiple currencies being accepted as payments by an ecommerce platform.
  • End to end authorization, technology, infrastructure and services in the payments space being offered by a single solution provider: There aren’t that many players.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention is a major concern for the industry.
  • Not many alternative payments options available with majority of competitors in the industry.
  • Last but not the least, hidden charges by many competitors brings ambiguity to the minds of the merchants.

In the view of the above problems, PayTabs has created products which solve all of the above problems and thereby providing a breakthrough for the industry:

The Security Imperative for Payment Gateways

The Security Imperative for Payment Gateways

 

“There are risks and costs to a program of action—but they are far less than the long range cost of comfortable inaction.”

John F Kennedy

It would be perilous to be comfortably inactive in a dangerous world of hackers and data thieves.

In a world that’s becoming increasingly being accustomed to data breaches and cybersecurity risks. It is therefore imperative that necessary safeguards must be put in place to protect the consumer and the enterprise. Security invariably is an issue in the payment gateway space. Consumers won’t pay online if the system isn’t secured. It is a trust issue.

Security is a big factor in the e-commerce space, hence we as an industry have come up with a whole host of symbols to drive consumer confidence.

The payment processing industry has gone through a paradigm shift in recent times owing to significant growth in the e-commerce space, in emerging markets where e-commerce companies have sprouted in huge numbers and have been instrumental in driving consumption.

In such a scenario, the payments processing industry has been moving through with security measures which improves data protection yet retaining the efficiency of transactions. The trends that are driving the payments processing industry from a security standpoint are as follows:

  • Integrators are taking the QIR program seriously
  • More payment solutions are seeking P2PE validation
  • EMV certifications are faster and more robust
  • End users are willing to pay for security

The last point among the trends is particularly interesting and goes to show that the consumer cares for security while making a payment and does not really mind shelling out extra for having the peace of mind while transacting on the web.

In fact, we at PayTabs understand the critical nature of payments security, hence we have a robust security infrastructure to offer the highest level of security, for your transactions and your customers.

How To Fully Protect Yourself Online

Security is a vital element when it comes to safely surfing the internet.  If you are one of the several million people who use online payments, providing sensitive information over the internet can leave you targeted by hackers looking to take advantage of your internet activity. Whether it’s about online safety, online payments or data clouds, the following tips will provide you with what you need to know to make sure you stay safe and secured on the internet:

  • Online Payment Security:

  1. Enter websites you are familiar with:
    Always shop using trusted websites instead of browsing on search engines. Search engine results can be misleading.
  2. Find the Lock symbol:
    If the website you are on does not have an SSL encryption, never purchase from it as your credit card information can be compromised.
  3. Never share unnecessary information:
    E-Commerce websites do not ask or need sensitive info such as your social security number for business reasons.
  4. Regularly check your statements:
    Make it a habit to check your statements online for your credit card, debit card, and checking accounts to ensure no fraudulent charges exist.
  5. Never use public computers:
    This is self-explanatory, using public computers puts your information at high risk of being stolen.
  • Internet Security:

  1.  Two-factor authentication is recommended:
    Two-factor authentication lets users provide another code in addition to their password. Eg, sending codes via SMS etc.
  2. Update your browser and devices:
    Outdated browsers and devices leaves you at risk of being hacked. Hackers usually find glitches in older version where it is possible for them to capture information from software and devices. Continuous updates prevent that.
  3. Create strong passwords:
    Avoid using simple words, birthdays, or any word that is easily guessed. Always be sure to reach the “strong” gauge when creating passwords, mixing between upper and lower case characters is also recommended.
  4. Use Google Security:
    This free service from Google helps strengthen your accounts to further guarantee your safety online.
  5. Regularly change your passwords:
    Other than creating a strong password, it’s important to change them regularly to keep hackers at bay.
  • Credit Card Security:

  1. Keep your PC well protected and up-to-date:
    Your antivirus and spyware software needs to be running and updated to the latest version when you are connected to the internet. Many existent online bugs are designed to track and record all of your personal information. Don’t make purchases or transactions without enabling anti-spyware and antivirus software.
  2. Try E-Wallets:
    A helpful software where your address and credit card information can be stored on a program in your computer that requires you to sign in using a password and username. This software then automatically fills in the blanks for you.
  3. Include Virtual Cards:
    They offer another level of protection involving using a false card number that you can use to make a purchase online. A virtual card will disguise the real account number so hackers will not be able to steal it. Only select banks offer this.
  4. Secure Your Email:
    If your do not own a secure email address, you may be loosely giving away credit card information to hackers. It’s preferred to print confirmation emails immediately then to discard of them online. No sensitive information should be found in your emails.
  • Cloud Security Tips:

  1. Be aware of where your data is stored:
    Include specialized hardware to permit cloud computing services to pass the most strict security procedures.
  2. Always backup your data:
    Many backup outlets are available to store your vital data in a safe and secure place.

Ensuring all your software, electronics, and information are constantly updated and protected will be the start of an important step to keeping you safe on the internet.
