Ezeego1, a travel meta search site, pioneered the concept of providing a secure payment gateway for customers booking on the site. The secure payment option was implemented way back in 2006, in order to win the trust of customers transacting with online.
The Reserve Bank of India, in a circular issued recently, has mandated all banks to implement additional verification and validation procedures based on information not visible on the cards for all online transactions to ensure that the transaction is genuine, effective August 1st 2009.
In short, beginning August 1st 2009, if a customer does not have the additional verification provided by the issuing bank, it would be impossible to transact online.
According to Neelu Singh, COO, Ezeego1.com, “Ever since we launched our site in 2006, our payment gateway had ‘Verified by Visa & MasterCard SecureCode’ enabled to create a level of trust and confidence amongst online shoppers visiting our site. We believe that the RBI’s decision is the correct way forward in protecting consumers from online fraud.’’
This additional security will encourage many more Indians to shop online as they would not have to fear of their cards being misused. Ezeego1 has options for both Visa and MasterCard holders to transact safely.
