Our promise stands on a foundation of best-in-class payments expertise - not a passing moment of frenzy and excitement. We started as a pioneer in cashless payment, securing checks and credit cards through digitization. One of our first inventions was the "Verification Phone," an electronic method that protects merchants from fraudulent checks. Our brand name and problem-solving DNA emerges from that initial innovation. We ended up in all corners of the world, because no merchant could prosper without secure payments. We started at point-of-sale and became the world's most trusted payment expert with best-in-class hardware.
