Burbank is an enabler of growth and innovation. Our flagship solution, CPoI revolutionises the online checkout experience and optimises revenue by enabling card-present payments over the Internet. CPoI completely eliminates the $443bn problem that many online merchants have due to the over sensitivity of anti-fraud systems. It significantly reduces online payments fraud and chargebacks, which costs merchants $20bn per year. And it brings the trusted, familiar and easy Chip & PIN payment process online for consumers. The benefits of shifting to card-present payments online for merchants are vast: - Revenue growth due to elimination of false positives. - Significantly reduced risk of online fraud and chargebacks. - Liability shift away from the merchant. - Access to broader customer segments with less barriers in the payments CX - Faster settlement/revenue return The Burbank team was the first globally to achieve both PCI CPoC and SPoC certifications, developed the world’s first live ‘PIN on mobile’ solution, founded a billion-dollar payments-infrastructure company in the travel sector, created the first-ever cloud-based HSM solution, developed the world’s first cloud-based POS terminal, and created over 160 mobile payments patents.
