CreditCall to the Rescue: Protecting Small Businesses from Hackers

If you own a small business, the possibility of hackers getting into your system and stealing your customers’ payment information, such as credit card numbers and other important information, should be an important part of your strategy.

Founded in 1996, Creditcall can help you put those fears to rest. This company plays a role in assisting major companies such Visa, Discover, Hilton, Groupon, Miura, First Data, Verifone, Gravity Payments, Virgin, Five Guys, and other small businesses navigate secure payment interoperability and card data breach concerns.

“Creditcall develops EMV solutions that enable companies to future-proof their business with the ability to embrace new technologies and innovative products in a simple and secure way,” said Jeremy Gumbley, CTO, Creditcall. “The combination of tested hardware and Creditcall's proven track record of secure EMV kernel technology will ensure mobile payments stay within reach of all retailers.”

When any IoT item is purchased, there can be expectation to see more IoT devices linked to payments and personal identifiable information. This causes more people to unintentionally expose themselves to potential hackers. The proof is evident that customers are naïve about their online safety because they don’t change default passwords or setting up basic security protection.

Small businesses should be vigilant in protecting their customers’ privacy, however sometimes they aren’t. Creditcall has worked with many companies to support hundreds of small businesses in retail, restaurant and hospitality to ensure the strongest card data security measures are in place.

As a part of their technologies, Creditcall offers hosted payment pages, where the customer’s private information is captured from the company and is delivered to their bank without the owner of the website ever seeing any of the payment information.

Another technology that they offer is for mobile purchases. It is CardEase Mobile MPOS. This allows the customer to order over their mobile device and their payment information via their White Label solution or by adding card payments to customers’ app with Creditcall’s mPOS Toolkit.
