Gala Coral and SafeCharge to Co-Present on PCI Compliance Outsourcing at the MRC London

LONDON, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Gala Coral, a preeminent European gaming and betting group, is to present a session on PCI compliance outsourcing with their established payment service provider, SafeCharge International, at the Merchant Risk Council (MRC) European Congress on April 17-19 in London. The joint session will be held on April 18th at 11:00a.m.

"As a big sports betting and gaming merchant, we have benefited tremendously from outsourcing our PCI compliance," comments Jim Noakes, Head of Transactional Services Projects at Gala Coral, who will be co-presenting the session at MRC. "Leveraging the cumulative information capital and the latest technologies developed by SafeCharge, we were able to improve end-user experience, save on annual costs and reduce risks of card security breaches."

Using a case-based approach, Noakes will expound on Gala Coral's positive experience from initial set-up to implementation and performance measuring. Shemer Katz, Vice President of Product and Marketing at SafeCharge, will conclude the presentation by showing the technology behind Gala Coral's successful outsourcing.

"A recent Gartner Research shows that the cost of in-house Level 1 PCI-related work is $693,000 per annum. As such, outsourcing has now become a major trend across industries," says Katz. "Gala Coral was at the forefront of this wave. We provide them and dozens of other merchants a reliable PCI compliance alternative that comes with plenty of benefits including increased payment conversion and minimized risk of fraud."

Both Noakes and Katz will be available throughout the conference for questions and further discussion.
