“As a result of our direct relationship with Merchant Link, the Georgia Center was able to easily and rapidly adopt point-to-point encryption technologies in our hotel PMS system. This provides our guests with the strongest levels of PCI credit card security available today. We have no doubt Merchant Link will remain a key partner and industry leader as we move forward to achieve point-to-point encryption in our POS systems within restaurant and retail outlet solutions this year. They are by far the most responsive and helpful gateway vendor I have ever worked with in the past 13 years of my service at Georgia Center.”

“As credit card data breaches continue to make headlines, and as we continue to grow our business, we knew we had to do everything possible to secure the personal data of our guests. Merchant Link’s hosted solution secures cardholder data from the moment of capture and ensures data is not stored anywhere on premise. The solution also helps ease PCI compliance effort and cost for our franchisees.”

“In our search for a new payments gateway provider to introduce to our franchisees, IHG established a number of key criteria. We wanted to point our franchisees toward a hosted, gateway solution which would be easily upgradable and would not require the adoption of extra hardware or software. We sought competitive pricing, wanting to help our franchisees eliminate pass-through fees by third-party processors. And, we insisted on a high level of responsive service.”

– Tammy England, Director of Treasury

InterContinental Hotels Group




“At Red Lion we’ve already implemented both tokenization and P2PE. We will incorporate EMV into our security infrastructure when our software and hardware vendors make that technology available. In our experience, security technologies such as tokenization and P2PE complement the compliance effort because they enable a significant reduction in both scope and risk. We think these technologies make achieving and maintaining compliance more realistic and affordable.”

– David Barbieri, Senior Vice President and CIO

Now celebrating our 20th year in the business, Merchant Link’s mission is to remove the risk and hassle of payments. Our cloud-based payment gateway and data security solutions are live and in production at some of the world’s largest retail, restaurant and lodging chains. In 2006, we began tokenizing cardholder data, and a few years ago we introduced point-to-point encryption. Together, these solutions encrypt cardholder data at swipe and return meaningless tokens to the point-of-sale, protecting cardholder data in-flight and at rest. The combined solution helps merchants meet and exceed PCI compliance requirements by eliminating the need to store payment data on their network.
