READING, UK, 11th August, 2005
PayPal (Europe) Ltd. has signed a partnership agreement with CyberSource Ltd. to enable CyberSource's customers to accept payments via PayPal. CyberSource, a leading provider of electronic payment and risk management solutions, will now offer this service to merchants in the UK, alongside its existing broad portfolio of payment methods.

The deal provides CyberSource's customers with simple access to one of the fastest growing forms of payment on the Web. By offering PayPal as a payment option, merchants can simplify the shopping experience for their customers, maximising sales.

Alessandro Hatami, head of merchant services, UK, at PayPal commented, "Based on CyberSource's roster of brand-name customers, and continuing success in this region, it seemed like the natural choice for us in the UK. Through CyberSource we can extend the reach of PayPal to a wider range of online merchants both large and small."

Nathan Jackson, managing director at CyberSource said, "The merchants we work with are always looking for ways to make transactions simpler, quicker and more convenient for their customers. PayPal has become one of the Internet's biggest success stories by offering exactly these qualities, so it is a very natural partnership for us."

CyberSource provides multiple payment and risk management services for some of the world's largest and most successful businesses. With a single interface for multiple payment types, merchants can easily integrate CyberSource's payment and risk management solutions into their existing systems, and scale seamlessly as their requirements change.
