Retail Decisions to offer Ukash
[490863]
Following consumer demand, Ukash is now accepted by Retail
Decisions, a major payment card fraud prevention and payment
processing company, which supplies the payments industry
worldwide.
Retail Decisions has added six new payment methods in response
to the growing popularity of alternative payment methods and the
trend for consumers to search for a wider choice of options
online.
As well as Ukash, Retail Decisions' online retailers will now be
able to accept payment through Amazon Payments™, Google™ Checkout,
Green Dot®, Mazooma™, and Moneybookers.
Ukash chief executive David Hunter said: "This is great news, not
only for Ukash and Retail Decisions' online retailers, but also for
the thousands of consumers who feel that alternative payment
options are a more secure and reliable way to spend online.
"Since its inception in 2005, Ukash has enabled consumers to use
their cash online. We know that the cash economy is growing, not
shrinking: with cash spending on the rise and online shopping
increasingly popular, it seems only natural that the two should go
hand in hand.
"The wider payment industry in general must respond to way
consumers spend, as well as what they want to buy in order to
survive. Alternative payment options, such as Ukash, can attract
new online shoppers who may have had concerns about revealing
personal financial details online. This also leads to new
opportunities for online retailers to access large numbers of
previously excluded people."
Carl Clump, CEO of Retail Decisions, commented; "Retail
Decisions has supported alternative payments for some time but the
addition of these six new methods expands our expertise in
alternative payment processing.
"It is important that Retail Decisions meets the changing needs
of consumers and online retailers internationally, taking into
consideration payment preferences which vary dramatically across
cultures."
Ukash is designed to enable consumers to use their cash online;
banknotes and coins can be converted into 19 digit Ukash voucher
code which can be exchanged at thousands of
websites where Ukash is accepted. Or it can be used to load
value into your favourite e-wallet or prepaid card, including our
own Ukash NEO and UkashOut
cards, to enable you to spend money wherever MasterCard® is
accepted.
