MENTOR, Ohio and MANHATTAN, New York, Jan. 27, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Devix Group (www.devix.com), a leading solution provider for online retailers and CardinalCommerce Corporation (www.cardinalcommerce.com), a leading provider of payment authentication services, have announced a partnership through which Devix Group will use CardinalCommerce's Cardinal Centinel(TM) technology to provide its customers Verified by Visa (VbV) and MasterCard(r) SecureCode(TM). Cardinal Centinel is recognized within the payments industry as the fastest and easiest way to implement VbV and SecureCode.
Devix Group is among the first e-commerce order management systems (OMS) to integrate Cardinal Centinel, and through the partnership, will be the first to offer an end-to-end 3-D Secure solution, enabling fully authenticated, Internet-based e-commerce transactions to merchants in which merchant integration is complete from the get-go.
Devix Group has already successfully integrated Cardinal Centinel for Beach Trading Co., (www.beachcamera.com) a leading online electronics store. "With the customer always at the top of our mind, offering 3-D Secure payments is a part of our continuous commitment to secure online payment solutions for our customers and our determination to fight credit card fraud," said Charlie Jearolmen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Beach Camera. "We see this as the responsibility of a good online merchant to protect genuine card owners against unauthorized use of their cards. We want our customers to shop with us in confidence."
Devix Group plans to roll out Cardinal Centinel into other customers' online platforms in the coming months. "As a leading online-shopping platform provider, we constantly look for ways to provide small- to mid-size online merchants a competitive edge, in order to maximize customer experience and to allow safety and security for the both merchants and their customers," says Devix Group's Chief Technology Officer, Guy Praisler. "Cardinal Centinel is a natural fit for our efforts to provide our customers with the most cutting-edge fraud prevention technology out there."
"Cardinal is excited to begin this partnership with Devix," said Ken Myles, Vice President of Merchant Services at CardinalCommerce. "By integrating Centinel into the Devix platform, together we can offer merchants an end-to-end solution for eliminating online fraud and related chargeback expenses. The implementation has already been completed for them; their merchants simply have to say 'Yes'; it couldn't be simpler."
