CreditCall Announces Growth Across U.S. Parking Market Thanks to True "Multi-Channel Offering"

NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CreditCall, the industry leading payment gateway and EMV software developer, announced today a surge in the growth of its U.S. business and further U.S. channel expansion. Over the past year, the company has greatly increased its operations in the U.S. payments market by providing card payment processing innovations to major parking equipment manufacturers and operators in six discrete areas of the US parking industry.

The U.S. parking market is increasingly turning to CreditCall's card payment processing solutions http://www.creditcall.com due to innovations such as Point-to-Point Encryption and in-app payments on smartphones and tablets as well as the company's vast payment solution portfolio for garage parking, multispace meters, single space meters, e-commerce airport pre-bookings and cellphone payments.

CreditCall customers can view their card transactions on WebMIS - CreditCall's real-time reporting system - irrespective of the channel they originated from. This speeds up administration and reconciliations, allowing customer queries to be dealt with swiftly. The combined reporting also provides a valuable insight into customer behavior. Operators can now see exactly which method of payment customers prefer and provide a better service accordingly.

Major U.S. parking equipment manufactures and operators already use CreditCall's payment innovations including:

• Pay by Cell – ParkNOW, Pay-by-Phone and Park Magic
• Pay by App – California based QuickPay Corp
• Single Space Meters – MacKay Meters, and POM
• Multispace Meters –manufacturers including Metric, Parkeon, MacKay and Hectronic
• Garage Parking (Pay-on-Foot and Pay-at-Exit) – increasing demand in Point-to-Point Encryption by operators and manufactures
• E-Commerce Airport Pre-Booking and Penalty Notice payments – for G-Techna and Chauntry

Dave Witts, CreditCall's new President of US Payment Services, commented, "It will be great to be selling what is essentially a universal credit card processing solution, and this multi-channel capability is becoming increasingly important to major operators and city authorities alike. They are running Pay by Cell schemes alongside traditional garage parking, and to have a common processing and reporting system is a huge bonus."

He added, "CreditCall already has a solid reputation for reliability, achieving over 99.996% uptime over the past five years due mainly to the fact that it operates four separate data centers which are interconnected. As an example, the recent hurricane Sandy had no effect on the processing of transactions for the company's customers."
