Ingenico ePayments, the online and
mobile commerce division of Ingenico Group, today announced that
the innovative music and entertainment platform, TIDAL, selected
Ingenico ePayments as its exclusive partner to help process
increasing demand for its services and optimize the payment
experience for its customers.
As the exclusive launch platform
for some of the world's biggest artists, TIDAL required a partner
that could support its rapid international growth, while also
helping the company process the thousands of transactions per
second ('tps') that are generated by high-profile, exclusive album
releases such as Kanye West's 'Life of Pablo' and Beyoncé's
'Lemonade'. Together, Ingenico ePayments and TIDAL offer TIDAL
users around the world a wide range of payment options and
currencies, tailored to their local payment preferences. TIDAL
works on smart phones, tablets and computers, and delivers an
optimized user experience on any device, even at high volumes.
With this exclusive partnership,
Ingenico ePayments supports TIDAL's goal of bringing music lovers
and artists closer together, by providing a seamless payment
experience that benefits both. Leveraging Ingenico Connect's suite
of integration tools, TIDAL had the flexibility to select a simple
and secure integration method that ideally fit their needs. Through
the connection to the Ingenico ePayments platform, TIDAL can now
provide a simple and fast checkout experience even at peak times
such as album launches, and offer a wide portfolio of international
payment products.
"We are thrilled to provide TIDAL with
credit card and alternative payment processing services, and to
work with them to create the best possible checkout experience for
their customers," said David Jimenez, Vice President
Global Sales & Marketing for Ingenico ePayments.
"Their success
creates a very demanding payments environment with huge peak
volumes, so we're very proud to have been selected as their
exclusive payment partner."
