Canadian Processor Expands to CNP
Nov. 4, 2011
E-Debit Global Corporation said its E-Debit International
Inc. unit, a Toronto-based payments processor, has launched the "Smart
Grid" secured card not present payment process. The company, which had
been focusing on the transition to the EMV standard in Canada, said it has
turned its attention to the CNP world. “With the number of payment cards in
circulation in Canada currently at 112 million, and expansion of the Canadian
card marketplace predicted to reach 124.5 million by 2016, our focus will be to
allow fully secured and network accessible payment processing for the
"Card Not Present" marketplace,” said Doug MacDonald, president and
CEO of E-Debit. “I am excited about the potential that is presently in front of
us not only in our historic business lines, but in the card not present payment
processing and prepaid, debit and credit business space originating in North
America and expanding worldwide.”
