Global Payments and Risk Management
Selling internationally requires fully integrated global payment and risk management solutions. Requirements span the gamut of payment acceptance considerations from accepting local payment types, pricing in local currencies and dynamically updating prices with changes in exchange rates (dynamic currency conversion), authorizing and settling in multiple currencies, to managing fraud and compliance issues such as tax and export regulations. CyberSource offers a single interface to the global payment network to handle all of these considerations as your business grows.
Global Payment Types and Banking Services
A complete spectrum of payment types helps maximize sales reach and conversion for cross-border sales. Payment types include: General purpose bank cards and pinless debit cards, country-specific bank cards, bank transfers (Giros) and direct debit. Pre-established banking relationships negate the need to establish multiple banking relationships and legal presence.
