New joint initiative focused on bringing
greater value to consumers and merchants
Creditcall, a payment gateway provider and EMV migration
specialist, and Diners Club International, a business unit of
Discover Financial Services and part of the Discover Global Network
have announced a signed agreement that will expand the acceptance
of Discover and Diners Club cards worldwide.
This agreement is part of Discover Global Network’s overall
strategy to partner with key payment solution providers, such as
Creditcall, to help drive increased Discover and Diners Club card
acceptance. The agreement also means that Creditcall will, as
standard, certify new solutions for Discover across future
processor certifications, widening the reach of card acceptance for
both parties. Creditcall is a leader in a number of sectors – from
transportation ticketing and parking to vending, retail and
hospitality. Some of the largest UK transit system providers - such
as Atos and Cubic, already use Creditcall’s payment gateway.
“Working with Creditcall is an important step in securing card
acceptance at merchants around the globe,” said Gerry Wagner, vice
president, Discover Global Network. “This agreement will increase
the number of merchants that card members have access to in over 30
countries.”
Discover Global Network is the third largest payments network in
the world and the largest merchant acceptance network in
Asia-Pacific. With more than 30 million merchant acceptance
locations and one million ATM and cash access locations across 185
countries and territories, Discover Global Network includes
Discover, Diners Club International, PULSE and affiliated
networks.
Creditcall’s range of payment solutions includes in-store,
online and mobile card payment acceptance as well as products to
simplify and speed up EMV migration, helping countries transition
from magnetic stripe card acceptance to the Chip and PIN.
Creditcall works across a range of industries where secure,
reliable and trusted payment capabilities are essential, including
parking, vending, transportation, hospitality and retail.
“Creditcall is pleased to be strengthening its relationship with
Discover through this joint initiative which benefits Creditcall’s
past, present and future customers, giving them a wider, enhanced
offering,” said Sian Bosley, commercial director of Creditcall. “We
look forward to working closely with Discover to help expand their
card acceptance across Europe. This is a great example of a leading
card scheme recognizing that Creditcall is a global leader in the
payments industry and can contribute to their success.”
