UK payment solutions provider Anderson Zaks has been awarded a contract by Jockey Club Racecourses to provide payment card processing services across its 14 UK racecourses.
The services will be based on the company’s RedCard payment processing software, and will include management of cardholder details on behalf of Jockey Club Racecourses. The racecourses include Aintree, Cheltenham, Epsom Downs and Newmarket.
Adina Ahmed, technical director at Anderson Zaks, said the cost of maintaining legacy systems which hold card information in-house is less cost-effective for most merchants looking to attain PCI DSS compliance. According to recent research from Aite Group, some vendors are pushing end-to-end encryption services as a means of helping retailers circumvent PCI DSS rules (see link below).
“With both Jockey Club Racecourses and Royal Ascot using our RedCard managed service we are seeing more and more organisations turn to third parties such as ourselves to manage their card information and thus conform to PCI standards,” said Adina Ahmed, technical director at Anderson Zaks added.
