Simple and secure has never been more important to a positive customer experience than right now.

When it comes to your contact center’s payment collection system, customers want to feel confident that the payments they make through your contact center are secure, even when your agents are working from home and the security risk can be exponential. To keep payment transactions secure while still providing helpful service means your agents should be available to assist throughout the payment transaction, but without access to sensitive cardholder data.

Amid unprecedented COVID-19 volume spikes (and expected long-term volume fluctuations as the world manages the effects of the pandemic into the future) keeping transactions simple for agents is as important as it is for customers.

Our payment system integration with Key IVR delivers customer and agent ease and security through:

Agent-assisted Payments. Agents can take credit card payments securely over the phone without hearing or seeing sensitive cards details.

Seamless Customer Experience. Customers stay connected to agents throughout the transaction process for a more helpful, high-touch and efficient experience.

Integrated, Easy to Use Platform. Works with Serenova’s CxEngage contact center solution with no on-site installation required; Agents don’t have to launch a new browser to access; Unified reporting includes call logs and payments collected.

Secure Call Reporting. CxEngage automatically starts, stops and pauses call recording so no payment information is captured.

Best-in-Class Security

Serenova’s integration with Key IVR delivers a fully integrated payment collection system that’s seamless, full-service and compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

PCI-DSS is a set of security standards designed to ensure all companies accepting, processing, storing or transmitting credit card information maintain a secure environment. Serenova and Key IVR are PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, the highest level of certification for PCI payments.

How It Works

  1.  With just a web browser from any laptop or desktop, work-from-home (WFH) agents access the PCI DSS Level 1 secured payment platform through a dedicated dashboard in CxEngage.
  2. Agents prompt customers to enter credit card details securely via telephone keypads. Agents can’t see, hear or store sensitive card data.
  3. Screen and call recordings are fully secure. Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) tones are suppressed, and the real-time dashboard only shows partial numbers as customers enter their information.
  4. Agents follow the entire process using their dashboards, providing assistance as required to fully support customers. They are alerted by the platform when the payment is completed successfully.
