November 15, 2009: New Online Payment Scheme Offers Alternative to Credit Cards.

Innovative e-tailer Globalmediapro has proposed a new payment scheme designed to provide online merchants with an alternative to credit cards.

The scheme would use a modified wire or bank transfer system to provide merchants with the online payment equivalent to credit cards. Currently, online retailers using existing bank transfer methods of payment must wait at least a day for the payment confirmation to appear in their accounts before processing the order. With the new payment system, businesses who register their bank account with SWIFT and receive a SWIFT code will receive a same day payment confirmation message meaning they can process the order without delay.

The proposed scheme offers similar advantages to that of credit cards; in that payment is recognizable, rapid and provides the information need for a safe refund if required.

One of the key differences however is that the payment cannot be charged back without merchant approval.

More details on the scheme can be found here.

October 23, 2009: Globalmediapro Issued with SWIFT Code.

Globalmediapro has become one of the first non banking institutions or large corporate in New Zealand to be issued with a SWIFT code.

The non-profit Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication issues SWIFT codes to allow their customers to connect and exchange financial information securely and reliably.

For Globalmediapro customers the code will mean greater levels of service and increased convenience as the online retailer processes banking transactions faster and more efficiently.
