LINE Thailand’s acquirer Krungsri (Bank of Ayudhya) will leverage CyberSource’s global payment gateway to process mobile payments from multiple card brands and issuers, as well as certain alternative payment methods.

To enable users to make mobile payments securely and efficiently LINE Thailand will integrate CyberSource’s fraud management and payment tokenisation solutions into its mobile payment service called LINE Pay.

Additionally, LINE Pay will use CyberSource’s Merchant Payment Tokenisation to protect customer payment data. This service replaces sensitive account data with a unique identifier token and stores the data on CyberSource’s secure servers, away from the merchant environment.

Prapakorn Lipikorn, head of LINE Pay business development at LINE Thailand, said: "By integrating CyberSource’s global payment gateway, fraud management and tokenization solutions into our mobile payment service, our affiliated merchants will be able to simplify and secure their checkout process without the inconvenience of loading a new app.
