“We’re re­al­ly ex­cit­ed to launch Sco­tia eCom+™, en­abling clients to start ac­cept­ing cred­it and deb­it card on­line pay­ments from any­where in the world.”

That com­ment from Cristi­na Abreu, Sco­tia­bank’s Di­rec­tor of Glob­al Trans­ac­tion Bank­ing for the Caribbean (South & East re­gion), in an of­fi­cial state­ment is­sued to­day.

Sco­tia­bank says Sco­tia eCom+™ is the dig­i­tal pay­ment so­lu­tion for busi­ness­es, en­abling them to ac­cept on­line pay­ments from their cus­tomers with­in 24 hours.

“We con­tin­ue to in­vest in so­lu­tions that dri­ve busi­ness val­ue for our clients and sup­port their tran­si­tion to more se­cure and con­ve­nient dig­i­tal op­tions,” Abreu said.

She added: “Sco­tia eCom+™ is af­ford­able, easy to use and al­lows for re­al-time pay­ment au­tho­ri­sa­tion. The pay­ment page is ful­ly cus­tomis­able and com­pat­i­ble with all mo­bile de­vices so that you can process your or­ders eas­i­ly and more ef­fi­cient­ly.”

Ac­cord­ing to Sco­tia­bank, with their Sco­tia eCom+, busi­ness­es can:

1. Ac­cept cus­tomer pay­ments us­ing Sco­tia­bank’s se­cure pay­ment page. Busi­ness­es can redi­rect cus­tomers from their .COM ad­dress to Sco­tia­bank’s se­cure pay­ment plat­form by em­bed­ding the pay­ment form in­to their web­site, to process pay­ments.

2. Add a cus­tomised pay­ment page to their web­site. Sco­tia­bank will work with the busi­ness’ web de­vel­op­ers for an easy in­te­gra­tion of Sco­tia eCom+ to the site. Cus­tomers can com­plete pur­chas­es and get in­stant pay­ment no­ti­fi­ca­tions via email.

Sco­tia­bank says for those busi­ness­es that may not have a com­plet­ed web­site, Sco­tia eCom+™ Vir­tu­al Ter­mi­nals of­fers the op­tion to ac­cept pay­ments in re­al-time.

“If you’re a busi­ness with main­ly a so­cial me­dia pres­ence, we can help you as well,” Abreau said.

Busi­ness­es in­ter­est­ed in the Sco­tia eCom+ so­lu­tions are en­cour­aged to email Sco­tia­bank via gtb.mer­chantser­vices@sco­tia­bank.com.
