A PCI compliant, DTMF suppressed card payments solution that keeps agents connected to their customers
FAST, SECURE & FULLY INTEGRATED
Our Border IVR solution can integrate fully with your back office system, offering a secure, bespoke, customer-friendly service.
Border IVR - A PCI-DSS Compliant Card Payments Solution
Ensuring PCI compliance throughout your contact centre and business when processing card payments is challenging. It can be virtually impossible to secure every system, from call recording through to agent activity, network security and data backups.
Key IVR have the solution to help de-scope your entire office and network environments by ensuring the payment data never reaches your systems. Our Border platform secures both your inbound and outbound traffic allowing you to focus on what matters most in your business.
Our platform is recommended by international payment gateways and PCI QSAs, delivered by trained, experienced industry professionals. We will work with you and your security specialists to implement a solution that meets your business requirements.
Key IVR’s Border platform for Call Centre Card Payments is an intrinsic part of our payment suite, and is helping call centres reduce their costs of PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) compliance, even to the point of making a business compliant that would be impossible without the service.

3 Options to Best Suit Your Organisation
1. The customer calls the organisation to make a payment. When they speak to an agent the line is secured, so they can begin the payment process once they’re ready
2. As the customer enters their card details into their phone keypad, the agent can stay in conversation, assisting them if necessary. The details are masked and passed onto the Payment Service Provider
3. The agent can follow the customer’s progress on a dashboard, they do not see or hear any sensitive card holder data. Once the payment is completed the agent can move onto the next customer

Calls entering your organisation will be routed through the Border platform, suppressing the data DTMF to deliver Voice only. This ensures every call is PCI-DSS compliant so agents can process a payment securely and the call can be safely recorded.
All sensitive data is stored off-premise, assisting in de-scoping your entire office environment.
Customers are asked to enter their card details into their handset and the agent's screen will update live with the progress and outcome of the payment.
- Ideal for inbound and outbound call traffic with a high call / payment ratio
- Helps de-scope your call recording, PBX and calls
- No card data reaches your network or seen or heard by the agent

An agent has access to the secure PCI-DSS compliant Border payment portal on an ad-hoc basis. If a customer wishes to make payment the agent can place the customer on hold, speed dial the payment platform then transfer the customer to the new, secure call, all within a few seconds.
The customer and agent are able to discuss the payment details and complete the transaction. The agent's screen will update live with the progress and outcome of the payment.

In Outbound mode the agent can use the secure payment portal when calling the customer to collect a payment. The call will route through the Border platform, suppressing the DTMF data entered by the customer, ensuring PCI-DSS compliance.
Customers can enter their card details into their handset whilst still connected to the agent. The agent's screen will then update live with the progress and outcome of the payment.
- Ideal for outbound calls with the intention of collecting payment. E.g. Credit control department contacting debtors and chasing payments
- Used on a per call or per department basis
- Non-payment calls don't need to be routed through the Border platform

Service Additions
Add Direct Debit to your payment solution and start securing collections through one of the most trusted channels in the UK.
Set up, modify and monitor Direct Debits simply and conveniently, avoiding the hassle of chasing a multitude of late payments. Options include: payment plans and one-off transactions to collect variable amounts, subscription payments and fixed fees alike.
Using a telephone keypad to input account information or card details can be challenging for some customers, especially for those with a severe physical disability. To cater for all demographics, your agent can prompt the customer to say their card numbers out loud. Their details can be verified and processed as normal.
The system will mute the call as these sensitive details are spoken, so your agents and call recordings are out-of-scope and you remain PCI-DSS compliant. It will also detect if the customer needs assistance from the agent during the process.
Tokenise a customer’s card, meaning they will only need to provide card details once, saving them time on regular payments and purchases.
All payments are secure as card details are not stored anywhere outside the issuing card company, with tokens containing a dedicated reference for every individual customer.
E.g. Policy number, customer number, customer name, phone number, etc.
Offer your customers a Recurring Payment Plan with a range of payment frequencies, such as weekly, fortnightly, monthly, etc.
A Recurring Payment Plan / CPA (Continuous Payment Authority) differs from a Direct Debit as you can re-take failed payments, restarting the plan and avoiding expensive failed payment charges.
This method is recommended by the FCA, as debt isn’t added onto customers paying off existing debt.
Optional Integration
Validate your customer transactions and avoid matching every transaction and investigating human errors.
You'll have the option to supply customer records or a list of outstanding payments so transactions can be validated as a customer makes a payment.
Our solutions are compatible with many different APIs, allowing integration with hundreds of different platforms.
If necessary, a bespoke API can be developed to work seamlessly with your business systems.
