Leading global payment solutions provider IntegraPay has partnered with PT.Transact to offer personal trainers the ability to take payments via their mobile device saving them time and money.

Through IntegraPay's payment service, PT.Transact optimises the personal trainer's experience by providing a complete, integrated, paperless payment and billing service. PT.Transact offers greater payment security by storing valuable customer information as tokens, in accordance to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) standards. Each token is unique and replaces customer data by storing the actual data in IntegraPay's secure online card vault. The process reduces the PCI burden for personal trainers and streamlines the payment process.

Technical expert, Neil Earey of PulseTec Solutions, has been developing fitness industry software for over 12 years and identified significant shortcomings with traditional payment and billing services used by sole-trader fitness providers operating independently in clubs, studios and outdoors.

With PT.Transact, personal trainers have the ability to offer credit card payments to their clients via their mobile device. The app, the first of its kind in the world, completely eliminates paperwork and fully automates the entire payment gateway experience for the personal trainer. The integration with IntegraPay is so powerful it even eliminates the need for bulky, awkward hardware credit card readers that are required by other services.

Earey explains "the focus of PT.Transact is to increase the revenue of our personal trainers and to completely eliminate the time-consuming hassles, manual, error-prone processes and risks previously associated with completing payment and billing services, including those of banks."

Exclusive payments partner IntegraPay created a secure card processing environment for the app. IntegraPay Chief Executive Chris Urry believes this solution will help personal trainers to spend less time on banking and following up money.

Urry adds "given our expertise in processing millions of credit card transactions each year globally the partnership with PT.Transact creates a distinctive offering.

"PT.Transact and their customers have the peace of mind knowing they are protected using the IntegraPay gateway service and solutions."

IntegraPay has been certified by Sense of Security, a provider of payment card industry compliance, and a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) registered with the PCI Security Standards Council. IntegraPay is listed as a PCI-DSS Compliant Service Provider on Visa's comprehensive listing.
