‘Tru Connect’ is fully compliant with 3D Secure versions one and two, offering merchants and customers the highest levels of security. To add to this, Card data tokenisation is standard, which makes compliance a breeze for merchants of all sizes.
Trust Payments has an advanced fraud detection algorithm called ‘TRU Fraud’ to help merchants identify suspicious transactions and reduce the number of false positives.
This helps reduce chargebacks and improves your financial profile.
As part of their global payment solution, Trust Payments supports multiple currencies and languages. This makes it easy for merchants to accept payments from customers around the world.
Merchants can choose to set up accounts depending on the business need.
This includes single merchant accounts for each currency or one for each sales channel. There of course, is the option to have one common account for all.
Just like the account setup, merchants can also choose from a range of settlement terms available. This makes it easier for them to get their payments quickly and retain the cash flow which can help them grow their businesses.
Trust Payments is considered to be one of the most affordable payment gateway services in the market for SMEs. Their fees & charges vary depending on the payment type, currency and other factors.
They also offer monthly contracts which reduces risks from long term commitments and allows merchants to opt in or out when they need.
That said, their fees and charges are not published on the website and requires merchants to contact their customer service for more information.
With over 15000 brands and over 200 million transactions a month, Trust Payments is one of the largest payment gateways in Europe. They are extremely transparent with their customers and offer full disclosure on all aspects of their services.
The fact that they do not disclose the fees and charges may be an issue for some. But with a gamut of services, most of them bespoke in nature, it may be quite difficult for them to have standardised fees & charges.
Trust Payments has multiple customer support channels and offer round the clock customer service. They have dedicated teams for different regions and languages, ensuring that customers receive fast and efficient help in their own language.
Merchants are assigned a dedicated account manager who can help them with any queries they may have.
There are hotlines for different countries, a messaging service and email support for quick response times.
Not to mention that there are detailed guides, FAQs and a chatbot on the website to help customers get the answers they need.
Trust Payments brings a powerful and secure payment solution to merchants of all sizes. They offer advanced features such as fraud detection, multiple currencies, flexible accounts setup and various settlement terms.
Their customer service is top notch and their terms are favourable. This makes them an ideal solution for merchants looking to deal with a single payment gateway or to expand their global reach.
