Under the agreement, Eason will deploy Transaction Network Services’ TNSPay payment gateway service across both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to manage the transactions made each year by its customers.
TNSPay is PCI DSS certified technology and supports all major EMV card and transaction types, point-to-point encryption and offline authorisation.
"Users can access a wealth of management information via the powerful transaction search and management tools, and the optional tokenisation technology can help reduce the scope of a merchant’s PCI DSS compliance," TNS said in a statement.
Niall Gaffey, group financial controller at Eason, said: "We identified the need to strengthen the way we handled payments and selected TNSPay based on its extensive global reach, breadth of features and ability to bring together our offline and online transactions into one easy to manage platform.

It is essential that our payments infrastructure can withstand the pressures of high volumes of traffic, particularly at peak times of the year, such as Christmas, and TNSPay has a proven track record with round the clock support."
