First Atlantic Commerce (FAC), an international multicurrency online payment and risk management solutions provider and Ukash, an online cash payment provider, have teamed up to offer Ukash payment options to FAC’s merchants in the Latin American Caribbean region, UK and Europe.
Reportedly, FAC merchants can now accept free cash payments on their website and access Ukash together with PayPal and a range of card brands for credit card processing through a single interface. FAC has said that the move gives merchants access to, and retention of, new consumer markets including customers that do not want to disclose their financial details online, and those that do not have access to credit and debit cards.
Andrea Wilson, CEO of FAC, said: “We are excited about the addition of Ukash to our payments platform. FAC continually strives to add value for our merchants, and this integration will give them an additional option for their customers to make online payment for goods and services. It also enables merchants to access additional and alternative payment options in emerging markets like Brazil, Uruguay, Russia and Poland.”
Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash, said: “The mission for Ukash is to make online shopping available to anybody, anywhere in the world and this deal with FAC is the next step towards realizing that goal. FAC works across a broad range of exciting sectors on a truly global scale so being added to FAC’s payment platform will make Ukash available to thousands of new merchants who can then enable their customers to enjoy the benefits of using cash to shop, pay and play online.”
