Secure payments are just the beginning when it comes to the potential of this technology. Wherever remote verification of identity is an issue, HomePay provides a comprehensive solution. Secure Electrans envisage this technology being used to reduce card not present fraud as well as tackling the growing problem of identity theft.

American Express, he said, has strict requirements for accreditation, which HomePay has succeeded in meeting without any qualification or equivocation.

"This accreditation represents an important element of our launch roadmap, whilst also being a crucial part of our overarching strategy to ensure that HomePay becomes the de facto anti-fraud solution for all major stakeholders in the payments industry.
