British e-commerce very different from elsewhere in Europe
Based on real life purchase transactions, the Pago Report 2008 highlights national differences in consumer and payment behaviour in European e-commerce

Cologne, 30 July 2008 - British online merchants are increasingly attracting more international consumers. Whereas consumers from Germany make up over 95% of custom in German online shops, only 45% of customers in UK shops are from the UK. Nearly one third of international customers stem from countries outside Europe, like the USA or Asia. The Pago Report 2008 has just been published by Pago eTransaction Services, the international Acquirer and Payment Service Provider. This, the seventh edition of this respected report, entitled "Trends in E-commerce Purchasing and Payment Behaviour based on real Transactions", analyses developments in European online consumer and payment behaviour, non-payment risks and trends in important e-commerce industry sectors. Essays by prominent experts from the major credit card organisations, the Deutsche Bank, giropay and the University of Karlsruhe round off the Pago Report 2008.

Pago eTransaction Services first credit card acquirer to get PCI DSS security certification for fourth time in succession
SRC confirms compliance with high international security standards Cologne, 08 May 2008 - Pago eTransaction Services has become the first credit card acquirer to get PCI certification for the fourth time in succession. The Cologne based company has once again been awarded the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) confirming that it offers its customers the best possible protection against data abuse. The global security and survey standard PCI DSS was invented by the PCI Security Standards Council, an institution which was founded by the leading international credit card organisations. The continually developing standard is the demand for all organisations who work with credit card information. The successful certification provides that the security level complies with the strict guidelines of the PCI Security Standards Council. Thereby consequential losses for a company can be reduced. "As one of the leading international acquirers and as a Deutsche Bank company, compliance with the highest safety standards has always been a priority for us," said Dr. Markus Weber, Pago's Managing Director. "In addition, we are continuously monitoring and improving all of our work flows."
