Emerchantpay’s Background
Founded in 2002, Emerchantpay has built a solid reputation as a payment service provider to the international online gaming sector. A steady focus on security, efficiency and new technology produced a global gateway that takes international payments through a payment page merchants can customise. The company is certified to PCI DSS Level 1 and is a principal member of both Visa and Mastercard.
It is also authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as an Authorised Electronic Money Institution (AEMI). Operators can choose between three integration modes:
- Hosted payment page on a fully PCI DSS-compliant server.
- Client-side encryption for more freedom to customise the checkout.
- Server-to-server, which leaves the operator in complete control of the payment flow.
