Gateway Solutions...

We are a PCI Certified Credit Card and ACH Processing Gateway that offers cutting-edge fraud prevention and analytical tools to merchants worldwide. We represent a new level of secure transaction processing technology that is necessary in today's online environment. Our system is designed to protect companies from fraud and to present real-time data and metrics that will allow our clients to effectively analyze these transactions and their results.

Dual-Interface...
Fraud Prevention...

The Gateway has two interfaces each satisfying a different functional need. One functional interface looks at transactions at the consumer level and is architected to efficiently get the user to the exact consumer they are researching. Call Center agents use this interface in their daily activities when interacting with consumers.

The other functional interface takes a more holistic approach in analyzing your processing activity by looking at your data at an aggregate level versus a consumer level. The reporting capabilities cater to your preferences, allowing you to run reports and separate the data in the way that best suits your needs. For example, you may look at your revenue by site, merchant account, product, pay type, country, affiliate, etc. Query results are immediately available on screen and to download into Excel. With real-time reporting, you can see very quickly where issues are arising.

Fraud Prevention and Membership Billing are at the heart of the gateway. Built from the ground up to support adult and other ecommerce recurring processing, our expert team was instrumental in implementing the feature functionality necessary to operate a successful billing plan.

Fraud prevention is comprised of evaluating transactions for their risk exposure rating. Some activities around these evaluations are:

  • Scrubbing the transaction in real time before it is sent for settlement
  • Preventing transactions with specific data to ever be submitted
  • Validating transactions against external and internal databases
  • Blocking transactions based on identified trends
  • Setting rules and limits to reduce exposure
Membership Billing...

Whether you are offering a one-time purchase or a recurring membership, the gateway will manage the billing and send transactions out when they become due. The gateway will also abide by the rules set within it for your accounts as to the frequency, amount and state of the consumer account and whether further transactions will be allowed.

Kjell Petridis

President

L3 Payments was founded by Kjell Petridis in 2002. Shortly after attempting to buy a hot dog in the USC parking lot in 2001 and being declined because he didn't have cash, Petridis returned at the next game and provided the vendor with a method to process payments with credit cards. The vendor, Hrag Kopooshian, would later become one of the largest hot dog vendors in USC parking lot history and go on to help Petridis open the doors for L3 Payments, which would serve to help vendors, not just hot dog slingers, the opportunity to meet the ever growing demand to take credit card payments online, as well, manage risk and assist vendors with call center needs and gateway solutions. L3 Payments is responsible for processing across a great many institutions, including, Thomas' New Baby Supplies, Trojan Dogs and Corona Beer. Throughout the years, L3Payments established itself as a client-first company, a company that established intimate client relationships which have withstood the test of time and industry evolution.

COO

Melody grew up in some place called Canada doing Canadian things like Curling. In an effort to get Curling familiarized by people in the United States, Melody went into banking where she took a job at V. Banks Inc, one of the largest and most prominent players in the banking world today. Through those experience had at V. Banks, Melody acquired skills unmatched in both ACH and Curling. When dreams of being an Olympic Curler fell through, Melody landed at L3 Payments in Southern California where she immediately changed the course of L3 Payments' ACH platform, both structurally and in client relations. Her willingness to help clients take their processing to the next level has been instrumental in the evolution of L3 Payments. Melody can be contacted at melody@l3payments, Skype, ICQ.
