Proquest LLC

The Brink's Company, a company focusing on secure logistics, and 2Checkout, a global online payments provider, announced the launch of Brink's Checkout, a payment processing service that enables merchants to sell online to global markets.

In a release, the Brink's Company said that Brink's Checkout is a turn-key, PCI-compliant e-commerce payments service that enables merchants to accept online credit card, debit card and PayPal payments. By partnering with 2Checkout for the payment platform technology, Brink's Checkout enables merchants to sell online to virtually any buyer globally. The system can be set up in minutes and works across 196 countries, 26 different currencies, and 15 languages. Consistent with Brink's focus on security, the service offers merchants "superior" fraud protection on a global scale.

Under the terms of the partnership, Brink's will market and sell Brink's Checkout to new and existing customers worldwide using its global sales force and direct marketing efforts. 2Checkout will provide the payment processing platform, including management of the merchant application and underwriting process, checkout and cart technology, payment gateway, payment processing, risk and fraud management, PCI compliance, settlement, reporting and customer service.

Tom Schievelbein, chairman, president, and CEO of Brink's, said: "Our merchant customers have been asking Brink's for an easy and secure way to accept online payments in any currency, and that is what Brink's Checkout delivers. We are excited to add this service to our growing payments business that now includes bill payment, mobile top-up, prepaid cards and on-line payments. These services are a natural extension of the Brink's brand and an excellent fit with our global footprint and customer base. We partnered with 2Checkout because of its proven success in processing billions of dollars in transactions, its focus on security, and its global reach. That is the type of reliability and commitment that our customers expect from brand."

Tom Dailey, CEO of 2Checkout, said: "We are honored that Brink's selected 2Checkout after an exhaustive review of potential partners. We offer Brink's customers the fastest path to selling online through our automated sign-up, full-featured and secure payment processing platform, and industry-leading risk management solutions. The Brink's brand is synonymous with trust and security worldwide, and we are proud to be their partner."

While many payment processors provide a basic CVV (Card Verification Value) check and address verification, Brink's Checkout is designed to detect and stop fraud before it happens using a number of prevention techniques.
