3Delta Systems, Inc. (3DSI), a leader in online credit card payment solutions, recently announced that it has been certified to process online merchant payment transactions directly through the American Express Card Authorization and Processing Network (CAPN).

As a result, merchants who accept American Express credit cards and use 3Delta Systems' online payment processing gateway will be able to securely transmit their transactions directly to American Express for authorization, settlement and payment.

The processing system will also support Corporate Card Line Item Detail, also known as Level -3 data, to augment basic card transaction with more detailed purchase information – such as item descriptions, quantity, unit price, invoice numbers – which are critical for many corporate buyers. These features are particularly important for 3Delta Systems' largest customers – business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) credit card and purchasing card (p-card) merchants and users.

"Corporations and government agencies that process large-ticket payments need to reduce costs, streamline reporting and process credit and p-card transactions using the most secure technologies possible," said Aaron Bills, co-founder and chief operating officer of 3Delta Systems. "They also depend on seamless connectivity to the major credit card processing services, to secure data processing at every stage and an easy-to-implement online payments solution," he added. "By combining American Express Direct with 3Delta Systems' suite of virtual payment solutions, B2B and B2G customers now have an extremely powerful payment processing system and expanded payment choices to help them achieve substantial cost savings and operational efficiencies."

"Over the past several years, American Express has made several strategic acquisitions, including GE Capital's corporate card business, signaling an increasing commitment to the B2B and corporate purchase card marketplace," Bills explained. "It made sense for 3DSI to mesh its 10 years of B2B card processing experience and Software-as-a-Service technology with the American Express network of buyers and suppliers."

As a certified payment services provider, 3Delta Systems' online suite of products and technologies meet the most stringent Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) for safeguarding cardholder data against fraud and data security breaches.

In addition to American Express Direct, 3DSI's payment gateway also connects with other major merchant processor networks that can receive Level-3 data, including:

  • Elavon
  • Fifth Third Processing Solutions
  • First Data
  • Global Payments
  • TSYS Acquiring Solutions

3DSI provides processing services for all major card brands — American Express, Discover, MasterCard/Diner's Club and Visa.
