CCAvenue.com adds ICICI ATM PIN Debit Card to its comprehensive payment portfolio
21st July, 2017
CCAvenue.com, the country's leader in online payment processing services, announced today that it has added the payment facility of ICICI Bank's ATM cum Debit Card to its platform. Considering the widespread use of ATM PIN debit cards on eCommerce websites, the inclusion of this payment option will significantly benefit the 1 lakh+ web businesses registered with CCAvenue as well as all the ICICI debit card holders.

ICICI Bank is India's largest private sector bank with total assets of US$ 152.0 billion as on March 31, 2017. The bank currently has a network of over 4,850 Branches and 13,722 ATMs across India. It offers a wide range of banking products and financial services to corporate and retail customers through a variety of delivery channels and its group companies. The CCAvenue payment platform has already been offering the net banking and EMI options of ICICI Bank.

According to a recent study, nearly 80% of consumers feel more comfortable using their ATM cum debit cards during online payments, as compared to standard debit cards that require multiple credentials for validation. Moreover, ATM PIN debit cards provide customers with a sense of familiarity in the online space; similar to what they experience during a traditional ATM transaction.

With the addition of this payment option, all ICICI Debit card holders shall now be able to shop online conveniently at a large number of eCommerce websites powered by CCAvenue.com. Customers can altogether avoid the hassle of lengthy transactions that involve filling in the CVV number and passwords during the payment process. Instead, all they have to do is enter their regular ATM PIN on the bank's transaction page to complete the purchase.

Furthermore, this move will also immensely benefit web merchants registered with CCAvenue. Not only will it enable them to offer a quicker and seamless checkout experience to customers, but also leverage their website to drive more sales, widen their customer base and boost their revenue stream.
