BARRON McCANN JOINS SWIFT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMME
Collaboration will extend Barron McCann’s reach into UK/European payment services sector
Leading payment systems, information security and IT services specialist Barron McCann has joined the SWIFT Partner Programme, in a move which will see the two organisations developing joint sales and marketing plans and working together on new products and services within both the UK and European financial markets.
Barron McCann’s SWIFT Business Manager, John Doyle commented, “This is a logical next step for Barron McCann and consolidates our relationship with SWIFT as we move further into the market for electronic payment systems with our own payment solutions including ‘Validate’ and ‘Paygate’. SWIFT provides a vital link between the global banking community and our payment processing services and we are delighted to be able to work more closely with them in these sectors.”
Barron McCann’s ‘Paygate’ is a range of advanced, easy to use, electronic payment solutions designed to support a variety of submission infrastructures, transaction types and payment instruments, while ‘Validate’ is a real-time data validation service for electronic payment systems which enables the quick and easy validation of UK and European payment data, including account numbers, credit card numbers, BICs and IBANs.
Arun Aggarwal, Managing Director - UK, Ireland and Nordics at SWIFT, said: "We are pleased to welcome Barron McCann to the SWIFT Partner Programme. As a key payment system supplier in the UK, Barron McCann is an important organisation to work with in the financial services sector to extend our value the SWIFT community."
“There is a growing acceptance that corporate treasury departments need access to a wider range of payment services than simply BACS or CHAPS these days,” added Doyle. “We will be working with our corporate customers to help consolidate their external communications and provide them with services which allow them to move more simply towards a ‘multi-bank’ scenario which will both enhance their efficiency and improve their competitive position.”
