AirTran extends low-cost and secure payment option

Acculynk, a leading technology provider with the first software-only service for Internet PIN debit, PaySecure, said that AirTran Airways, one of America's largest low-cost airlines, is now offering its customers the option to pay with PaySecure. PaySecure enables consumers to use PIN debit to pay for online purchases, right at the merchant checkout, with no enrollment or username/password required. Consumers simply enter their PIN on PaySecure`s graphical PIN-pad, and the transaction is processed as PIN debit, leveraging AirTran`s existing infrastructure and processing relationship with Elavon, a leading global provider of payment processing solutions and the first processor in the industry to support PaySecure. 
In addition, PaySecure offers consumers a simple checkout experience while providing merchants lower fees, reduced fraud and charge-backs, and incremental volume from security conscious consumers, those who prefer PIN debit and those with PIN-only debit cards.

Ashish Bahl, CEO of Acculynk said: “As more consumers embrace debit in lieu of credit, the need to secure online debit card transactions and reduce fraud rises. PaySecure offers consumers and merchants a safer alternative to using a debit card without a PIN on the Internet. We are pleased that AirTran, a premier airline boasting such a highly loyal base of customers, has chosen to add PaySecure to its suite of payment options.”
