Three-time winner First Atlantic Commerce [FAC], a provider of online payment solutions and international credit card processing for merchants, banks, and partners all over the world, was recognised in 2007, 2012, and 2017.

First Atlantic Commerce [FAC] is a leading global, online payment solutions provider. FAC provides merchants with multi-currency payment solutions, tokenization services and PCI validated Point to Point Encryption solutions.

The 2007 TechAward was for FAC’s product Verified by VISA and MasterCard SecureCode™ designed to reduce credit card fraud for online merchants in Mexico and Latin America.
