The ongoing partnership will see Aeriandi and Sage Pay work closely together to deliver comprehensive PCI-DSS compliant payment solutions to customers of both companies across a variety of vertical industries including telecoms, utilities and retail.

Merchants that store, process or transmit sensitive payment card data must adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) in order to protect sensitive customer payment data from fraudulent activity or misuse. This standard includes both ecommerce and telephone payment services, the two primary methods of payment collection for merchants around the globe. The new partnership will see Sage Pay introduce Aeriandi’s award winning PCI-DSS secure voice payment platform to its customers who require a comprehensive PCI-DSS solution in one package. The agreement will also see Aeriandi and Sage Pay share skills and technical expertise, helping to ensure customers maintain their PCI-DSS complaince status on an ongoing basis.

“Aeriandi and Sage Pay’s portfolios of secure voice and ecommerce solutions complement each other extremely well, making this partnership a natural fit,” said Richard Aldred, Business Development Manager, Sage Pay. “PCI-DSS compliance is a major talking point amongst every customer we speak with, so the ability to offer a highly secure, comprehensive solution covering both ecommerce and voice payments gives us a distinct competitive advantage.”

“Sage Pay and Aeriandi have enjoyed a successful working relationship for some time, so we’re pleased to be extending it with this new partner agreement,” said Matthew Bryars, Founder and CEO of Aeriandi. “Both companies’ share the same philosophy of delivering the best data protection possible through industry leading products and services, so combining our skills and expertise can only be a win-win for customers.”
