3C get the best rate for you!
 3C
gives you competitive advantage with cross
border acquiring by routing transactions,
irrespective of their country of origin,
to whichever bank in Europe offers the best
rates. So, wherever you are in Europe, you
never pay more than you need to.
On the basis of the market deregulation
legislation introduced in 1999, card operator
regulations now allow clients with operations
in just one country to apply for cross border
operations.
3C has leveraged its pan-European presence
and proprietary protocols with all major
credit card companies to obtain cross border
acquiring licenses with the following major
banks in Europe: Bank Card Company, Barclays
Merchant Services, B+S Card Service, Citibank
Card Acceptance, ConCardis (formerly EKS),
euroConex, Euroline, PBS, Streamline International…
Now, 3C clients
can take advantage of an excellent business
opportunity, as 3C is in a unique and privileged
position for attaining lower rates and reducing
processing costs.
No other company can offer such benefits
or such an integrated one-stop shop approach
for transaction handling across Europe.
Cross border acquiring positions 3C as market
leader by reinforcing its presence in many
countries and reaffirming its relationship
with leading hotel and restaurant chains
in addition to its banking partners.
The bigger the
client, the bigger their savings are
3C have been successfully operating
the Cross Border Acquiring approach for
the following hotel chains:
-
Marriott International
in partnership with Citibank Card Acceptance
in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany,
Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland,
The Netherlands and United Kingdom.
-
Starwood Hotels
and Resorts in partnership with Streamline
International in Austria, Belgium, Finland,
Germany, Ireland, Poland, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands

Extra savings 3C has also focused on offering its clients
special arrangements to reduce communication
costs by virtue of new IP technologies or
through its relationships with major telecom
carriers.
These arrangements establish lines used
exclusively to authorize transactions calling
the 3C system in Luxembourg. The hotel either
provides the IP access or bears the local
cost to access the Tele2 network or any
other competitive carrier, which will then
carry the authorization request to Luxembourg.
