Secure payments processing solution for Australian retailer

Secure card not present payment processing is to be provided to customers of Crazy John's, the largest independent phone retailer in Australia by means of Transaction Network Services Merchant Payment Gateway Solution.

Crazy John's will use single interface provided by the TNS hosted recurring billing service for handling both credit card and direct debit payments. At the expense of this system the costs for managing multiple vendors for a variety of payment mechanisms will be considerably lowered.

Besides Crazy John's will implement the PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant Merchant Payment Gateway Solution for secure real time credit and debit card processing and storage of card details for recurring transactions.

Furthermore all sensitive card data of Crazy John's is to be stored offsite by TNS. This eliminates extra costs for changing its internal systems and processes while ensuring compliance of Crazy John's.

"We needed processing services that are extremely reliable, highly available, scalable, and secure. We also wanted a company we could trust, as the project involved a variety of third party organizations, each having a hand in our critical payments operation. TNS' professional services, project management and delivery teams have excelled in the co-ordinated implementation and their technical expertise in the payments industry is outstanding," says Stephen Tuffley, head of operations at Crazy John's.

"Crazy John's has built one of the most recognized retail brands in the mobile phone market in Australia. We are delighted to be a part of this growing and innovative business and are extremely well positioned to support growth needs through our extended value proposition, giving Crazy John's an easy migration option into new markets in the future," states Christopher Hughes, Vice President Sales TNS Asia Pacific.
