Huuto.net enhances
the security of online purchases through a new payment
system
On 21 April 2010, Huuto.net adopted
the new Payson payment system, which increases the security of
online purchases.
The new payment system ensures that
the personal account and credit card information of the users is
not displayed to the recipient or obtained by unauthorised
parties. Payson offers a
secure and easy way for transferring money between the buyer and
the seller.
Previously, no payment system has
been used in Huuto.net, but payments have been made privately
between the buyer and seller. With Payson Payment, purchases made on Huuto.net can be
paid through the major Finnish online banking systems and credit
cards.
Safe way for
transferring money between buyer and seller
Payson Security makes buying and
selling particularly safe. Payson Security ensures that after making the payment, the
buyer can inspect the purchased product before the money is
transferred to the seller's account. This ensures that both the buyer and the seller
will be satisfied with the transaction and, for instance, that
the seller actually delivers the product in question.
"As online purchasing becomes more
and more common, we pay increasing attention to the safety of
buying and selling at Huuto.net. Payson Payment protects the user's account and credit card
information from third parties. Payson Security, on the other hand, offers additional
safety in large purchases where the product and the money are never
in the hands of one party at the same time", explains
Jarkko Kyttänen, Business
Director of Sanoma Digital Finland.
Partnership with
the largest micropayment system in Sweden
Payson, the leading micropayment
system in Sweden, has more than 1,000,000 Swedish users.
The payment system is used in more
than 2,000 Swedish companies.
"We wanted to offer a better chance
for Huuto.net users to safely select their preferred payment
method. Payson is the natural
business partner for Huuto.net. The payment system, delivered by a reliable party, has been
used for years at Tradera.com, the largest auction site in Sweden,
and with good results," says Kyttänen.
"Private online trading is rapidly
growing. Private individuals
buying and selling online need solutions for taking care of
payments in a smooth and secure way. We are happy that the co-operation with Huuto.net
introduces the payment solutions of Payson to Finland as well",
says Oskar Bjursten, Managing
Director of Payson AB.
In addition to the new payment
system, Huuto.net users can also continue to pay for their
purchases privately outside the Huuto.net system.
