East Africa’s first e-payment provider gets global certification

3G DIRECT PAY GETS GLOBAL CERTIFICATION FOR TRANSACTION SECURITY

(Posted 12th January 2016)

The Global Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council has awarded East Africa’s leading payment solution providers, 3G Direct Pay, their seal of approval for secure operations for their branches in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Zambia after an audit lasting for the last 18 months.

This DSS Level 1 Certification propels 3G into the global league of secure operators in their field of business, the first such company from Africa to accomplish this level of operational transaction security.

Hotels, airlines, travel agents, tour operators and other businesses dealing with e-commerce transactions, have embraced 3G Direct Pay’s services over the past few years across the region. The company was the first to provide intelligent solutions of how to curb and prevent e-fraud and give both consumers and companies participating in e-payment transactions peace of mind. Congratulations to Eran Feinstein and Kate Gathii on this milestone achievement.
