structure is primarily based on usage. Participating institutions also
may select the ATMs they wish to include in the program, making it a

control over their own surcharging revenue. SAB will brand transactions made at these terminals using its

reporting. This approach simplifies the provider relationship and allows

significant investment in new technology infrastructure.

Verient to Pilot NYCEâs SafeDebit
NYCE Payment Network has signed a contract with CA-based Verient to
conduct a pilot of NYCEâs “SafeDebit”, to enable online shoppers to make
purchases without sharing their PIN or account information. Consumers
who want to use the SafeDebit option when
making purchases online will choose âNYCE SafeDebitâ on the merchantâs
Web site during the checkout process. The system redirects them
to their financial institutionâs online banking site, where they log on
as usual through that siteâs existing security protocols. The SafeDebit
system then generates virtual debit card information for one-time use
and automatically populates the merchantâs checkout screen with this
information, with no additional keystrokes required from the consumer.
The consumerâs actual debit card number is never
disclosed to the merchant, and a PIN is not required for these transactions.
