Global online payments provider Optimal Payments has entered into an agreement with identity services specialist Daon to combine Daon’s biometric authentication system with Optimal’s NETBANX and NETELLER payment services.
The combined capabilities are especially important for market sectors where a high degree of customer identity certainty is required, such as regulated gaming.
Joel Leonoff, president and CEO of Optimal Payments, said: “Optimal Payments is at the forefront of technology innovation and Daon’s world-class services are very complementary to both the segments that we service and the kind of products we offer merchants and banks, such as remote payments, mobile wallets and cross-border remittance.”
Tom Grissen, CEO of Daon, added: “Optimal Payments is an innovator in the customer-not-present payments sector and so we’re delighted to be able to work with them to offer the market ‘homeland security’ - grade identity services embedded right into payments.”
