MA agreement sees Diners go global
(18 March 2010 – Global) Diners Club International, a business unit of Discover, has signed a merchant acquiring agreement with Global Payments Direct, a subsidiary of Global Payments giving the card provider global reach.
The deal will allow members of Diners Club and Discover Card to use their cards in markets where Global Payments has a presence, including the UK and other territories in Western Europe, Hong Kong, India and Taiwan.
Paul Garcia, chairman and chief executive officer, Global Payments, said that the ability of the organisation to provide an easy to use, integrated solution for merchants, particularly throughout the company’s key markets in Europe and Asia, will help Diners Club and Discover reach their goal of international acceptance.
It's important that merchants have a streamlined process in place when it comes to acceptance. With this deal, merchants will benefit from increased transaction volume as well as a single point of contact for all of their processing needs, Mr Garcia added.
