This follows the forging of a new partnership between international payment and risk management solutions provider, First Atlantic Commerce (FAC), and the Bank of Nova Scotia, a deal that enables merchants here and in six other Caribbean countries to do more business online.
In what the two enterprises are calling new 3D Secure services, they said in a press release that businesses in Barbados would be able to provide a number of services including:
• providing Internet merchants with the ability to verify a consumer’s true identity through a secure, electronic, non face to face authentication process.
• enable all parties in an eCommerce payment transaction to transmit confidential and valid payment data.
•provide verification to the merchant that the buyer is the authorised owner of a card account.
•offer immediate protection from fraud related chargebacks.

We first wrote about the Barbados-based company Herrd.com – (the Caribbean News Social Network where you can share, discover, bookmark, and promote Caribbean stuff that’s important to you) when they were weeks old. The fresh-faced Caribbean startup which launched in July 2007 was mapping the global online trend of news via social networking, gunning to be the number one in the region, like the America-based Digg.com is now globally. They were on a sweet growth path until recently. We reported in November last year that we got a suspected malware site warning every time we surfed on over there. Nowadays, that picture you see with this blog post is what we’ve been getting. Have they hit the dotcom dead pool or are they regrouping?
