THALES eSECURITY REWARDS INTERSWITCH WITH GOLD PARTNERSHIP

InterSwitch limited, Nigeria’s premier and leading transaction switching and payment processing company, announced today its appointment as a gold partner by Thales eSecurity, the global industry leader in wide area network data encryption.

Thales identifies and rewards those organisations that who have contributed to the growth of Thales business as well as the capabilities in providing supports to their customers. By this gold partner status, InterSwitch will be handling West/Central Africa region.
 
Interswitch focus within the Thales product arena is primarily on host and network security. The products that we offer into the Nigerian market are complimentary to our own products and this enhances the nature of the value-added reseller relationship.

According to Mr. Mark Burke of Thales, ‘Clearly Africa is an enormous market, and with South Africa handling all territories directly adjoining them, places like Angola, Sierra Leone, Ghana etc  are not handled officially, so a West/Central positioning would enhance the way our regions in Africa are serviced. Thales has a lot of confidence in InterSwitch to provide levels of support to their clients in that country. 

We are pleased that Thales has recognized our leadership role in providing financial institutions, corporates and the Nigerian public with secure and reliable solutions for interactive commerce.

InterSwitch operates an integrated, secure, auditable and open platform for financial transactions, e-commerce, telecommunications value-added services, e-billing and payment collections/monitoring. The company provides a cost-effective value-driven infrastructure through which organisations can provide services to their customers (and receive payment) using multiple channels. 
Mr. Mitchell Elegbe, Managing Director of InterSwitch Limited, said, ‘achieving this partnership with Thales will us give high visibility within Thales and this will result in our being able to better support our customer. We are proud to have been appointed a gold partner.’

Thales e-Security provides e-business security solutions to several thousand customers worldwide. Over half of the world's banks, together with the majority of the busiest exchanges, currently use Thales e-Security technology. Operating in three main markets covering e-security, card payment and network security, Thales e-Security addresses the business security needs of corporates and governments alike. For more than 20 years the company has been at the forefront of security and payment technology, co-operating and contributing to set the industry standards used for financial transactions and e-commerce globally.

Thales is delighted to be working with InterSwitch, and we look forward to providing services to all the countries in the regions that InterSwitch will be handling for years to come,” said Mark Burke.
