Conference 7.286::digital

    I would probably start with a company called "Verifone". I think their
    HQ is in silicon valley somewhere.
    
    They're the company that makes most of thise little boxes that your
    card gets swiped through at the auto-parts store... (or wherever..)

    You could ask GZS (Gesellschaft f�r Zahlungssysteme).

We have developed a Card Payment system for a large Retail customer in the UK.

In conforms to the APACS 40 standard for transaction authorisation and 
on-line funds transfer and, also maintains a central database of all transaction 
details with a flexible reporting facility.

It does not have a "Customer not Present" facility at the moment but we are 
discussing this option with another customer.

Contact Clive Woodley @SBP if this is of interest.

    
    In the US, there is a product called IC Verify. 
    
    IC Verify
    283 Beau Forest Drive
    Oakland, CA 94611
    
    FAX on demand - (510) 339-6442
    Phone: (510) 339-3480
    
    It runs under MS-DOS, SCO UNIX and UNIX.

I would assume that in order to be effective, you would need to contract with
some sort of service bureau that maintains a worldwide credit card validation
database. Otherwise you may have the technology, but no data to validate against.

    First Data Resources in Omaha, Nebraska provides total credit card
    service from generation of cards, authorization, etc.  You can also
    contact a bank and then the networks, such as Star, Cirrus and Plus,
    but you must be sponsored by your bank.  In California there is another
    organization called Interlink, which is owned by VISA.  Finally, you
    can contact VISA and Mastercard for authorization services.
    
    

US solutions probably won't help Michael who is in Munich, Germany.
.2 probably has the best pointer so far.

    Suggestions on talking to your bank, Visa, Mastercard still stand.  I
    suggest you talk to Henny Olthof @uto, dtn 838.2021 who did a lot of
    work with Eurocard in Holland.  If you want software, Muscato has
    excellent s/w that runs on VAX, ERDS9000.  You could also contact
    Applied Communications Inc. in London - this is now a Tandem company
    and may not be cooperative.  Henny is your best bet and tell him I said
    "hello".
    
    Daryl

There are companies who provide this service.  Two of the largest in the
US (world?) are located in Nashua NH and Salem NH.  One is DMGT (nashua) and
the other is Litle & co (Salem).  I suggest you call them.

    ported to Alpha/VMS

Thanks a lot for your input!

Now I have the kind of information I wanted to have.

That't the kind of cooperation I like most.


Long live this notes conference and all the helpful noters!!!
