TheTrainline Offers First Class Service with CyberSource Secure Payments

Reading, UK - June 17, 2008

CyberSource Ltd, a leading provider of electronic payment and risk management solutions, today announced that it has been selected to provide secure electronic payment processing for Trainline.com Ltd’s web and call centre channels.

TheTrainline is the UK’s largest independent retailer of rail tickets, with over 8.4 million registered users. It chose CyberSource’s flexible and scalable solutions to help effectively manage high daily order volumes and, in the process, provide outstanding customer service, a core philosophy of the organisation.

TheTrainline is also utilising CyberSource’s Decision Manager, Performance Monitoring, and Payer Authentication services. Using Decision Manager, TheTrainline can access over 150 global validation tests to screen for fraud and determine in real-time whether a booking should be accepted, rejected or marked for further review, according to business rules TheTrainline has established. Performance Monitoring adds yet another level of review. CyberSource, in company with TheTrainline’s staff, develops custom-designed order screening strategies and processes. Once these are in place, CyberSource analysts continue to monitor order performance and tune systems to optimise results.

Both Visa’s Verified by Visa and MasterCard’s MasterCard SecureCode programmes provide further verification of a cardholder’s identity. CyberSource’s Payer Authentication allows merchants to access both these programmes with a single, simple connection—no need to establish separate connections with the card schemes.

Bill Hopkins, operations director at TheTrainline, said, “Offering a high quality customer experience is central to our ethos at TheTrainline. We needed a reliable payment solution that could help support this within our rapidly growing online operation, and help us minimise the impact of fraud. CyberSource was selected as their solutions met all of our requirements.”

Simon Stokes, managing director at CyberSource, said, “CyberSource has extensive experience in delivering a trusted and scalable payment solution to high profile, large volume online retailers. We are excited to be working with TheTrainline and helping support them as they enhance their customer experience.”
