Atos Origin supports 1euro.com in the deployment of its new eCommerce payment solution

Paris, 21 September 2006 - Atos Worldline, an Atos Origin Company, has been selected by 1euro.com to help it deploy its solution that supports immediate financing dedicated to eCommerce, with secure on-line payment and user account management.

1euro.com, created by Cofidis group, has launched its innovative on-line payment solution with immediate registration since spring 2006. The service is already available on around 100 e-commerce websites including Priceminister and Topachat. Until now, purchases on e-commerce sites have been limited to immediate payments. Thanks to 1euro.com, e-merchants will now be able to expand their clientèle by targeting consumers who wish to purchase immediately but spread their payment.

Atos Worldline has been selected by 1.euro.com as its technology partner to provide a complete solution that encompasses credit account opening and on-line repayment management.

Atos Worldline solution covers:

* User account management (account and password creation)
* A credit-check module
* Secure on-line payment
* Identification management
* Repayment management

"To launch this service, we were looking for a solution that would be quick to deploy and international. Atos Worldline solution met these requirements and reinforced the sense of trust built up by Cofidis with e-merchants", explains 1euro.com’s Business Manager at Cofidis.

By selecting Atos Worldline, 1euro.com has acquired a payment solution certified by Visa and MasterCard’s PCI-DSS standard. 1euro.com also benefits from the reputation of the payment solution from Atos Worldline, the market leader for secure Internet payment.

Thanks to its expertise in electronic payment and on-line services, Atos Worldline can guarantee high-level security for credit account opening, repayment and payment on the 1euro.com website.

The development of this solution meets the increasing need of payment solutions for eCommerce and confirms Atos Worldline’s position as a specialist in secure transaction management.
