SME News Q4 2018

SME NEWS / Q4 2018 53 , Paytriot Payments is a Level 1 PCI DSS certified online payment gateway provider for businesses looking to accept credit and debit cards online or in-store. InNovember, Paytriot was recognised among the winners of SME News Magazine’s 2018 Greater London Enterprise Awards as the ‘Best Payment Processing Specialists’. On the back of that success, we spoke to ZubairMukhtar at Paytriot to find out more about their innovative services and customer- centric approach to payment processing. Payment Processing for Businesses Made Easy By all regards, cashless methods represent the future of payment processing. As the world becomes one ever-defined by digitisation, it has had to adapt and throw away what no longer works – or has, more importantly, become inconvenient. Naturally, businesses in turn have had to realise that consumer needs are constantly changing, and a refusal to stay up-to-date could cause them to lose vital custom. From the very beginning, Paytriot Payments has secured enduring success through a dedication to a seamless user experience, as Zubair explains further. “Our ethos has always been to allow our customers to be at the forefront advising us on what they need in terms of products, integrations and settlements. We strive to make online payment processing as simple and efficient for customers as possible.” Zubair continues, detailing how Paytriot has distanced themselves from peers in an increasingly competitive market: “Paytriot offers an all-in-one solution to clients that provide them the simplest solution on the market. They can accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, bank transfers, iDEAL, Sofort and 25 other payment methods all from one gateway. Our e-wallet has multiple funding methods including cryptocurrency exchange. All these products can be added to an account instantly with no additional charge. We deal with low risk to high risk merchants and have a 90% approval rate. Customers have never had the choice to accept so many different payment methods all from one company.” As we come to the end of the interview, Zubair takes a moment to discuss the greater trends in the industry, and what the future may hold for cashless payments. “Cashless payments are constantly evolving. From cards that had to be swiped and signed, to chip and pin, and now contactless payment from your card or even your mobile device. As for future developments, payments will be made more secure and easier over the LON18056 next five years. London is, by all regards, the hub of financial payments, and the capital will be pioneers in the evolution of new payment types to come.” Company: Paytriot Payments Address: The Charter Building, Charter Place, Uxbridge, UB8 1JG, United Kingdom Website: www.paytriot.co.uk Telephone: 0800 368 7345
