Card Briefs: Web Payment Platform Gets Key Certification

Tellan Software Inc. said its Internet payment platform has been certified by Vital Processing Services.

The system, WebAuthorize, allows merchants to process Internet credit and debit card transactions. It connects merchants to VirtualNet, Vital's Internet commerce service that authorizes and settles transactions much like credit card purchases in stores.

The format provides merchants with a performance similar to that of a leased telephone line, yet with a low-cost Internet connection, Tellan said.
