Gala Technology, the Yorkshire-based company behind the multi-award winning Cardholder Not Present (CNP) payment solution, SOTpay, has announced a partnership with FreedomPay, the global leader in secure commerce technology lodging, retail, restaurants, stadiums and other hospitality merchants.

SOTpay enables cardholders to complete secure remote transactions whilst maintaining their sensitive card information on their device. Transactions are fully authenticated and PCI DSS compliant, negating the merchant’s risk of fraud-related chargebacks and associated costs.

FreedomPay delivers a unique client experience that meets the merchant where they are and helps them to where you want to be next. Their Data-Driven Next Level Commerce Platform enables end-to-end consumer experiences by delivering dynamic offers, a customized check-out across all channels and analytics through business intelligence.

The partnership supports FreedomPay in providing its merchants with the ability to process secure and PCI DSS compliant payment transactions across several channels, including telephone, webchat, SMS and social media platforms. The new agreement is also timely, given the record number of people working from home in unprecedented situations following the pandemic.

Gala Technology CEO Jason Mace commented: “We are thrilled to partner with FreedomPay to help provide their merchants with secure and PCI DSS compliant transactions across multiple channels. Our cloud-based technology does not require any additional hardware or integration or any amends to existing telephony and network infrastructure, which means that deployment can be swift and incredibly cost-effective. It’s perfect for remote working environments.”

Barry Stearn, Vice-President, Partnerships, FreedomPay, said: “FreedomPay are delighted to partner with Gala Technology, bringing together consistently award-winning payment innovation for the benefit of our mutual clients. Both organizations share an ethos that integrations solve for complex payment scenarios, thus improving the consumer journey as a result.”

Recently, IBS Intelligence reported that UK-based payment security solutions provider Gala Technology has selected Nuapay in a bid to provide Open Banking payments to its partner network and direct merchants across multiple sectors, including retail, hospitality and financial services.
