Fintech startup CLOWD9 partners with Netcetera to fight global payment fraud.
LONDON, 9 January 2023–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CLOWD9, the world’s first cloud-based and decentralized payment processing platform, has partnered with Netcetera, a global software company for secure and convenient digital payment solutions, as its payment security provider. CLOWD9 will use its 3-D secure issuer service for transaction authentication and access control server (ACS).
Netcetera operates a multi-client 3-D secure issuer service with a state-of-the-art access control server as a core component, which is used by more than 200 banks and card issuers worldwide. The firm’s 3D secure issuer service is an EMVCo® approved product, compliant with EMV 3DS protocols.
The secure 3D server is designed for frictionless and reliable payment processing. From a security perspective, the solution reduces the risk of unauthenticated transactions, associated refunds and lost revenue, while enabling a frictionless cardholder experience.
As an issuer processor, CLOWD9 sits at the center of the global payment system, acting as the interface between banks, fintechs and payment firms to authorize transactions and initiate payments, maintain the system for recording cardholder data and provide settlement instructions.
CLOWD9 will be able to offer the solution to its customers worldwide, consisting of a comprehensive set of tools for frictionless payments to improve the shopping experience of cardholders.
Built entirely in the cloud, CLOWD9 has removed the need for physical hardware. The decentralized model provides virtual access to the platform around the world, via “instances”, with payment transactions routed to the nearest cloud instance, providing unparalleled reliability. CLOWD9 already has instances established on all continents.
The technology behind the CLOWD9 platform is designed and built in-house, with open APIs that neobanks and fintechs can leverage to provide their customers with cutting-edge customer experiences. The platform is uniquely built with microservices architecture, which enables CLOWD9 to scale up and down according to transaction needs, making the platform more energy efficient and resilient compared to legacy architecture.
CLOWD9 CEO & Co-Founder: Suresh Vaghjiani: “As a new company operating at the forefront of payment technology, it is important for us to work with partners who value innovation equally. We have built a platform at CLOWD9 that improves both the efficiency and reliability of global payments by leveraging new technology. We recognizes Netcetera as a forward-thinking solution provider capable of meeting our unique requirements as a cloud-based payment processor.”
Netcetera Great Britain Senior Business Executive Robert Miskin: “We are excited to partner with CLOWD9, especially during this crucial period of their business growth. We believe that bringing our leading 3-D Secure and Access Control Server (ACS) services for issuers will help drive the adoption of 3DS, significantly improve overall security of their online transactions and lead to a more efficient and frictionless experience for their end users.“
