GPayments

GPayments is an Australian-based provider of fraud prevention solutions beneficial for card issuers, acquirers, payment service providers, and merchants. They are best known for securing online Card-Not-Present transactions, with a specialisation in EMVCo 3D Secure authentication solutions.
With over 20+ years of experience in technology development, GPayments was the first company in the Asia-Pacific region to develop 3D Secure solutions and shares deep expertise and proficiency in the 3DS protocol. The company serves over 100,000+ merchants, banks and distributors across the globe.
==History==
GPayments was founded in 1999 by Bahram Boutorabi, the Chief Executive Officer of the company. The Fraud Management firm falls under the Neurocom Group, alongside Member Check, a provider of Risk Management solutions through the MemberCheck AML/CTF, Identity Verification and KYC screening platform.
GPayments uses global standards such as EMVCo 3D Secure and global card scheme authentication programs offered by Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, UPI, JCB, Discover and eftpos. With over two decades of experience in technology development, the company has established itself as a leader in fraud management.
Expanding its global reach, GPayments dominates the 3D Secure acquiring markets in Japan and Australia, and is a leader in the 3D Secure issuing markets in Eastern Europe.
==Platform==
GPayments provides a complete range of integrated authentication products based on the 3D Secure protocol, Verified by Visa, Visa Secure, Mastercard SecureCode, Mastercard Identity Check, JCB J/Secure, American Express SafeKey and Discover ProtectBuy. The Fraud Prevention products offered by GPayments are: ActiveServer, ActiveSDK, ActiveAccess(3DS 1 and 3DS 2), ActiveMerchant (3DS 1) and 3DSecure Testlabs (3DS Test Environment). 
GPayments has recently introduced a new version of its Access Control Server (ACS), ActiveAccess, which supports 3D Secure1, 3D Secure 2, and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). Its authentication suite offers services for eCommerce and mCommerce transactions, facilitating flexible, cost-effective solutions for its eBanking customers. It also offers an additional security layer for online credit card transactions, useful for banks and financial institutions.
==Products and Services==
GPayments products revolve around fraud prevention, data security as well as browser and mobile payment authentication. The major solutions provided by the company are a 3DS Server (ActiveServer) both hosted and on-premise, Access Control Server (ActiveAccess), 3DS SDK (ActiveSDK), Directory Server (ActiveDS), and Merchant Plug-In (ActiveMerchant). Through these products, the company aids its clients to reduce card fraud and eliminate chargebacks.
Besides the main 3DS components offered above, GPayments also provides an end-to-end 3D Secure authentication testing platform, TestLabs, for clients to test any of their 3DS components, or to perform product integration testing. Unlike many test tools that utilise simulators, TestLabs comprises live and fully developed 3D Secure components: ActiveServer, ActiveMerchant , ActiveAccess and ActiveDS (a Directory Server). This provides users with more realistic test results, as well as the flexibility to specify custom test cases. This tool can be used by those looking to implement an existing 3D Secure solution or build their own 3D Secure product.
The entire line of integrated authentication solutions offered by GPayments is certified compliant for PCI-DSS, PCI-3DS, Visa Secure, Mastercard Identity Check, JCB J/Secure, American Express SafeKey, Discover ProtectBuy, UPI 3D-Secure and eftpos Secure. The company has its solutions deployed globally within some of the world's largest international corporations.
