credit cards. payD transforms any shopper’s cellular phone into
a personal PIN entry device to authenticate and secure purchase
transactions, providing security and peace of mind to both
cardholder and merchant. payD transactions can be initiated
using websites on computers and tablets, mobi-sites and USSD
on cellular phones, self-service terminals and even call centres.
payD enables you to expand your payment acceptance
market beyond traditional credit card holders, by allowing debit/
cheque card holders to purchase airtime, pay bills, load wallets,
purchase tickets on the go, and generally shop online. Because
payD transactions are “PIN-present transactions”, the risk of
losses due to disputes is essentially removed for merchants.
payD transactions are fully compliant with PASA’s regulations for
Authenticated Mobile Transactions, as well as PCI regulations.

FOAM PROTECTION SYSTEM STOPS
CASH-IN-TRANSIT ROBBERS IN THEIR TRACKS
In line with its strategy to deter and deflect crime, G4S Cash
Solutions South Africa is installing a new foam protection system
in all of its cash-in-transit vehicles that carry bulk and high value
consignments. Based on technology from Penman Engineering,
a UK-based company, this solution makes it nearly impossible
for criminals to steal contents from the hold of the cash-in-transit
vehicles.
The G4S Denial of Access (DOA) Solution comprises of two
units that contain a “mix and dispense pack” of expanding foam.
When a trigger event occurs, the foam rapidly expands until it
fills the hold of the vehicle and hardens into a hardy material
similar in composition to polyurethane fillers.
This material cannot be melted with chemicals or fire, meaning
that it will take a would-be robber longer to chip through the
foam in order to get to the valuables, than it will take the SAPS or
armed response backup to arrive at the scene.
[Says Hannes Venter, sales director at G4S Cash Solutions
South Africa] ‘The introduction of this foam protection system
falls in line with our commitment to using the latest technologies
to safeguard our customer’s assets as well as the lives of our
security officers and members of the public.’
