Business Wire
Transaction Network Services (TNS) has announced a partnership
with AAPT which dramatically reduces cost and improves reliability
for acquirers and processors operating fleets of Dial EFTPOS
devices in Australia.
TNS connects millions of payment devices for customers globally,
serving the requirements of half of the major acquirers and
processors worldwide.
John Banfield, TNS’ SVP and General Manager for Asia Pacific,
said: “Acquiring banks and processors are asking for increased
operational sophistication from their networks, and for a solution
that adheres to PCI compliance requirements. The trend is
definitely towards outsourcing these services to experts who
specialise in the payments industry.
“TNS’ experience in migrating to EMV and meeting the needs of
customers who require multi-host routing has positioned us as the
leading provider, in Australia as well as in the UK and USA.
“By leveraging AAPT’s national network in conjunction with our
global industry expertise, we have created a unique multi-carrier
offering for Australian banks and their Dial EFTPOS fleets. TNS is
committed to driving new and innovative services to the Australian
payments market. The relationship with AAPT marks our expanding
coverage in the Asia Pacific region to continue to deliver robust,
cost-effective payments solutions to the market.”
David Yuile, CEO of AAPT, said: “AAPT is pleased to announce an
alliance with global payments expert TNS as it launches one of the
most sophisticated and resilient EFTPOS networks.
“TNS is using our extreme performance network to provide
resilience and fine-grained call metering. AAPT, in conjunction
with TNS, is delivering on our commitments to bring true
competition and a credible choice to Australian banks.”
