Integrated Simply into Existing Checkout Flow. No Interference with Branded-Checkout Experience.
Reduces PCI Scope for Any Business Accepting Electronic Retail or Recurring Payments

MRC 2011 e-Commerce Payments and Risk Conference
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Litle & Co. today unveiled Litle Vault PayPage, a new front-end application on its award-winning card data tokenization platform that completely eliminates merchant exposure to card data during the online acceptance process. PayPage is available through Litle Vault—the company’s proprietary, platform-embedded Tokenization solution, which last month received a Stevie® Award for new product and service innovation.
 Litle & Co.“As pioneers in the online people search business, we have standardized on solutions that capably deliver and support secure payment processing solutions for the consumers that use our services”
PayPage enables merchants to safely store consumer card data without possessing it. This approach speeds up the checkout process and supports faster conversion that can increase sales. During the online order acceptance process, Litle Vault PayPage transmits card number information collected at the checkout page from a shopper’s web browser directly to the PayPage application server, which tokenizes the sensitive data. PayPage also can be utilized for tokenizing customers’ payment options in electronic wallets. Customers can add new card numbers or update existing ones in their accounts at anytime.
“As pioneers in the online people search business, we have standardized on solutions that capably deliver and support secure payment processing solutions for the consumers that use our services,” said Jerry Klein, CEO, HD Publishing, Inc. “In combination with the Litle VaultPayPage not only protects our customers’ information—reducing our liability and insurance costs—but also eliminates potential data breaches. In fact, PayPage’s versatility is already a centerpiece of our multi-million dollar call center in support of our online checking, telemarketing and soon, our Direct Response television (DRTV) initiatives. For us PayPage is not only a means to maintain consumer privacy, but also a methodology to securely and transparently increase multichannel customer conversions.”
Osman Perksoy, Principal Product Manager for Litle Vault PayPage, said: “Litle Vault PayPage empowers enduring and profitable consumer relationships for online businesses and ecommerce merchants by removing technology and data security obstacles that distract them from growing those relationships. Litle Vault PayPage helps merchants focus on revenue optimization and growth, while preserving all of the customer relationship reporting and analytics utility that the Litle payments platform provides.”
About Litle Vault and Litle Vault PayPage
Litle Vault eliminates the need for merchants to store consumer card data in their own databases—instead, the Litle Vault sends consumer card data to Litle’s secure data storage and replaces card numbers with Tokens that emulate the numerical sequence found in credit cards. This format-preserving approach also allows Tokens to be used in all everyday transaction-based processes as well as business and consumer intelligence efforts, e.g. CRM applications etc. Litle Vault helps reduce the scope and cost of PCI compliance for businesses, it mitigates card data compromise scenarios for businesses and their customers alike, and protects consumers with no action required on their part. Unlike card data, Tokens in the Litle Vault are useless to anyone other than the merchant registering them. Litle Vault PayPage completely eliminates merchant exposure to all card data during the online acceptance process by capturing consumer-submitted card information, tokenizing it and returning a unique PayPage ID to the shopper’s web browser.
