Without doubts credit and debit cards have become indispensable for online retail, however, card-based payments also mean high requirements in efficiency, data security and system availability. As a leading provider of integrated concepts for electronic payments, Wirecard group offers full service of the highest standard, also in credit card processing. Wirecard works together with all reputable credit card organizations worldwide, as well as numerous acquirers. The company offers merchants from around the globe efficient access via a standardized interface to a system that is notable for its payment processing and extensive fraud protection. Based on the latest security standards, this platform fulfills all requirements imposed by the credit card organizations including PCI certification, and supports the processing of additional industry-specific data, such as the airline, hotel and car rental industries.

The Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) makes Europe-wide direct debit payments simpler, quicker, and more secure, besides making it possible for Asian companies to tap into new revenue opportunities in markets in which credit cards will not suffice as the sole payment method or in which there are multiple country-specific payment procedures. SEPA’s direct debit procedure offers a standardized national and international payment method within Europe. A uniform legal framework and a standardized Europe-wide procedure for SEPA payments make it possible to make cost-effective and secure payments.

SEPA transfers make domestic and cross-border payments as well as cost-efficient refunds in the case of returned goods possible. Consumers can also use the SEPA credit transfer in a standardized and quick fashion when paying for goods ordered on account.

Wirecard groups risk management protects merchants against financial losses brought about by fraudulent activities while at the same time maximizing sales. The anonymity of the Internet appeals to criminals. Identity theft and payment fraud have increased drastically in recent years. Many merchants limit the payment options they provide to customers in an attempt to reduce risks. However, fewer payment methods also mean lower sales. Wirecard groups risk management systems provide effective protection against fraud and default when using the established payment options. This way sales potential can be fully exploited with minimum risk.

The Wirecard risk management ensures the greatest possible security for all established payment options. Individually customized and merchant-specific checking methods determine in real-time whether payments are to be accepted or rejected. Fully-automated and modular processes can be adjusted to the respective requirements of merchants quickly, effectively and individually. This means powerful protection by detecting fraud before it can cause damage.
