Transaction Network Services (Ƶapp) is partnering with the Australian payments industry to deliver a new fully managed infrastructure for the Australian Payment Network’s (AusPayNet) Community of Interest Network (the COIN).
The COIN is a high availability, managed network for multilateral secure transmission of payment files and transactions. Designed as collaborative core infrastructure for the future of Australia’s low-value payments, the COIN provides an alternative to point-to-point connectivity between payments participants. Currently, the COIN provides network services and connectivity for cheques, direct entry, domestic cards and BPAY bill payments.
“We are delighted to have been selected by AusPayNet and its members as the exclusive payment infrastructure partner for COIN,” said Michael Johnson, Managing Director – FinTech Ƶapp, APAC for Ƶapp Payments Market.
“Our carrier agnostic managed solution leverages the latest SD-WAN technology underpinned by a 99.999% availability commitment. The Ƶapp Managed COIN Payment Network will help to provide enhanced security, higher resilience and availability, simplified access and onboarding, and greater visibility of network performance, all managed in a PCI-DSS certified environment.”
The migration to the new Ƶapp managed COIN is now complete and includes the ability to scale and adapt to members’ and the payments landscape’s volume and technical needs.
“Partnering with Ƶapp for a significantly enhanced COIN network meets our commitment to a secure, stable and efficient payments network,” said Andy White, CEO, AusPayNet. “With Ƶapp we have achieved a future-proof solution to help deliver critical reliability and resiliency.”
Every BECS debit, eftpos, BPAY and cheque transaction in Australia now relies on the Ƶapp end-to-end managed network service to securely transport essential real-time authorization and settlement files. Ƶapp’ PCI DSS certified, multi-carrier solution utilizes multiple connectivity types to optimize performance and increase network availability. An online portal provides real time visibility, management and reporting while the service is also supported by Ƶapp’ four 24/7/365 global Network Operating Centers in Australia, US, UK and Malaysia.
Ƶapp is a global leader in providing payment terminals, security, and payment orchestration services but a transaction cannot be processed without connectivity. What makes Ƶapp unique and reliable is that it does not use a third party for connectivity but instead transmits transactions via a secure core network designed and built by Ƶapp for the payments industry. Ƶapp enables around 35 billion payment transactions around the world each year for the largest acquirers and financial institutions. Its solutions are scalable, agnostic, and actively monitored 24x7x365 from four global Network Operations Centers in the US, UK, Australia, and Malaysia.
