NetConnect

Looking for fast, secure and affordable payment processing at Internet speeds? Look no farther than NetConnect, the latest innovation for retailers from Chase Paymentech. NetConnect provides a secure, direct Internet connection to Chase Paymentech's authorization center that can reduce the average credit card processing time from 10-15 seconds for a dial-up connection to a mere three seconds. Advanced security - Transactions are processed with the utmost security. Chase Paymentech authenticates every single transaction and requires them to be encrypted using industry-standard SSL encryption. NetConnect's built-in security features make it a powerful tool against hackers who steal merchant ID numbers and use them to make fraudulent card refunds. NetConnect also provides all merchants a username and password to prevent unauthorized transactions, including refunds, from being processed against their merchant account. Affordable - NetConnect is vastly more affordable than frame relay connections, offering a real-world alternative for small and mid-size merchants. Because it utilizes Internet connections such as a digital subscriber line (DSL), NetConnect allows merchants to free up valuable telephone lines and continue to take calls, send faxes, etc. while they are processing transactions. Simple Setup - With NetConnect you won't need any additional hardware, and in many cases you may already be using NetConnect-certified software such as Go Software PCCharge, Intrix Supercharge and Positouch via Transaction Plus. If not, we can provide the actual specifications at the merchant's request.

Frame Relay

Frame relay eliminates the time consuming and cumbersome dial-up process so that users are continuously online. Coverage is available in the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii. It supports multiple connections and offers dial-backup support. Chase Paymentech's standard TCP/IP frame relay network connectivity is the most innovative in the industry. It has high transmission speeds, low network delay, high connectivity and efficient bandwidth use. In addition, the circuits and hardware are provided, maintained and monitored by Chase Paymentech on a 24/7 basis.  System Redundancy - Chase Paymentech's redundant and highly efficient systems ensure accurate, cost-effective and timely processing of transactions. During scheduled maintenance, processing is transparently switched to the redundant system without disruption to our customers. Fast and Reliable Transactions - The typical transaction speed that merchants experience ranges between 2 and 4 seconds, depending on your choice of point of sale (POS) device and software. Low Cost - The entire cost of this solution is a flat monthly fee, with a minimum commitment of one year. There is no additional charge for installation, 24/7 monitoring or help desk availability. Increased Revenue - Faster processing means faster authorizations, enabling you to assist more customers and have additional time to focus on your day-to-day operations or strategic initiatives. State-of-the-art Technology - Includes an ATT frame relay circuit, Cisco router, dial backup with analog phone line.
