YES!TALK with Simon Curtis
YES!TALK is a new exciting section in our online YESpay
newsletter. Regularly, a YESpay Representative is interviewed
and has a few minutes to share personal & professional
aspects of his life. In this winter edition, Simon Curtis,
YESpay's new SVP Strategic Business Development - EU is our
first volunteer!
YP: Tell us more about yourself. In a few words, who is Simon Curtis?
SC: Born, raised and living in North London, I've spent half my career in
management consulting and the other in building software business, mainly in the retail,
leisure and hospitality markets.
I'm married to Sarah-Jane, who's a successful retail property professional,
currently running Covent Garden in London. We have two kids, Antonia 17 and Edward 15.
YP: What are your Responsibilities as SVP of Strategic European Sales and Business Development?
SC: My role is to work with larger partners and merchants across Europe to deliver a multi-channel
payments experience to their customers. A simple 'new way to pay' that makes it simple,
easy and convenient for the customer, whatever channel or payment method they choose.
For the merchant, our strategic payments platform provides a safe, secure, relabel, PCi compliant platform to support their multi-channel activities and the fast emerging world of mobile and social commerce.
I will be working alongside existing and new partners to see how they can leverage some new and
exciting solutions such as StoreManager, E-Wallet solution 'Pouch' and our E2E compliance platforms..
YP: What attracted you to YESpay?
SC: The payments industry is a tremendously exciting and innovating place to be.
More and more merchants are looking for specialist outsourced solutions to
deal with the increased regulation and compliance, and M-Commerce is set to revolutionise the payments industry.
The potential for YESpay is tremendous.
YESpay has been very clever; they have been investing in a unique single global multi-channel
platform for payments and Mobile Commerce.
I've also long been an admirer of their SaaS business model. YESpay were the pioneers in delivering
payments SaaS. The sound business model provides focus and stability to our growth, and helps avoid the
pitfalls of getting distracted into other revenue streams.
YP: Please list your TOP 3 key aspects that differentiate YESpay from the competition.
1. Innovation – YESpay have led the way in payments SaaS. They has created a single global multi
channel platform and are leading the market in Social, M-Commerce and NFC payments. Exciting,
relevant products for our partners and merchants, built on a scalable, reliable cloud computing architecture.
2. Global Operation – More and more merchants operate on a global basis. To operate efficiently across
their market they need a global payments provider.
3. Business Model - Pure SaaS businesses are attractive to customers and investors alike. Customers need stability
and focus, investors like the simplicity, scalability, and purity of revenues.
YP: To finish, what are your hobbies?
SC: I'm basically sport mad! I'm a passionate Arsenal fan, and a keen follower of most sports events.
Tennis is my number one sport. I'm lucky enough to be fit and playing well enough to make the over 45's Great Britain
Team and get involved in various international events. Last year I played for GB in the world championships in New Zealand,
we were on court in Christchurch playing Germany when the earthquake struck! Who said tennis is boring!
When I'm not playing tennis, you will find me on the Golf course. When the cold arrives,
I move onto the squash court and gym, to keep those winter pounds off the tummy.
Aside from sport, I enjoy great food and wine and watching films with my family.

YESpay's EMV payment solutions listed on PA-DSS list of Validated Payment Applications
YESpay has received validation from the Payment Card Industry
Security Standards Council™ for compliance of its payment
client EasyV-Terminal with the Payment Application Data
Security Standard (PA-DSS).
PA-DSS is a PCI Council-managed program aiming at
helping payment software vendors develop
secure payment applications that do not
store prohibited data (full magnetic stripe, CVV2 or PIN data) and ensure their
POS (point-of-sale) applications support compliance with
PA-DSS.This certification is required for POS application
vendors that handle payments that are sold, distributed or licensed to third parties.
YESpay did not need to undergo PA-DSS certification as YESpay does not sell the software but provides it as
part of its payment service. However YESpay undertook certification of its client payment applications to
PA-DSS in order to bring even more confidence to merchants and POS software vendors.
"This is an important achievement that will help our partners fast track their own PA-DSS compliance as well
as providing additional assurances to the end merchants that YESpay is delivering a high quality, secure
product as certified by the PCI Council", highlights Nigel Exton, SVP Operations and Client Services at YESpay. |

As a leading payment provider in UK and North America, YESpay is constantly
innovating and developing new cutting edge solutions. With Pennies, The Charity Box,
YESpay has shown innovation and best practice in the use of new communications
technology in the Charity sector. The objective of partnering with Pennies was to
develop an innovative solution helping Pennies and its merchants raise more money
for Charities in an easy, cost effective and fast way. |
YESpay has incorporated the Pennies, The Charity Box, into its payments software which is supplied to
partners and merchants. This additional functionality has enabled The Entertainer and the Rugby Football
Union to implement Pennies simply and quickly in their stores. It will also make Pennies implementation
simple for other YESpay merchants, allowing them to easily and cost-effectively participate in a growing
micro-donation movement which is proving popular with UK consumers and starting to make a difference for
charities too.
YESpay and Pennies, the electronic charity
box have jointly been shortlisted to
receive the "Best Technology Initiative of the Year" award at The Card & Payments Awards 2012! Fingers
crossed. We will know more in February 2012. You can find more information here.

Delego Software Inc. has completed the integration of its system with EMBOSSTM, YESpay’s multi-channel
EMV Chip and PIN accredited and PCI-DSS (Level 1) certified managed payment service. With a first joint
customer implementation, Nikon Canada Inc, planned for December 2011, this partnership will help SAP
merchants implement an integrated retail and payment strategy in both Canada and Europe.
Experts in Card-not-present scenarios, Delego decided to partner with YESpay as a result of its card acquirer
pre-accredited (in Canada, USA and Europe) approved and PCI DSS (level 1) certified payment service. Delego
was able to mitigate a significant amount of time and cost that would have been associated with a direct
bank certification with its merchant processors. Delego is now able to offer its SAP merchants a fully
managed EMV payment solution adapted for card-present payments (EasyV-Retail) and card-not-present
environments (EasyV-Internet). Harry Morge, National Sales Manager at YESpay explains: "Thanks to this
strong partnership, Delego is now able to expand the services they offer to merchants. Delego is known to be
an expert on the card-not-present side, but now also on the card-present side as merchants can use the full
multi-channel integration with YESpay managed payment service." In addition to taking payments through a
single gateway, this multi-channel offering allows Delego to stay ahead in security features such as Tokenization
and PCI-DSS compliancy.
When asked why Delego chose YESpay, Greg Ferris, VP Business Development at Delego Software Inc.
explained that "Delego’s increasing international presence throughout North and South America, Europe,
and the Pacific Rim was a key factor in choosing to integrate with YESpay. This integration is easily implemented
and valid in North America and mainland Europe! Delego can now deliver proven options for both
card-not-present and card-present solutions and this will further assist in the continuing growth of our
customer base. I am looking at the YESpay/Delego partnership as both dynamic and strategic." www.delego.ca |
