Commidea is the UK’s leading card payment processing solutions provider.  Established for over 17 years, Commidea has built its reputation as a market leader, developing high performance systems and innovative solutions suitable for every market sector.
Commidea has developed its Ocius range of products to cater for every customer-facing environment.  Commidea’s countertop solutions utilise state-of-the-art technology to meet the growing demands of the retail industry.
Ocius Sentinel is the UK’s first point-to-point dual encrypted card payment solution, which includes additional functionality to improve your card payment security, thus significantly reducing the cost and scope of PCI DSS compliance. 
For the smaller retailer, Ocius easiPAY is a countertop solution which only requires a power outlet – its use of GPRS technology potentially saves the retailer up to £250 per year, as an additional phone line is not necessary.
Not only does Commidea provide countertop Chip and PIN solutions, but we also provide portable and mobile terminals utilising the latest GPRS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology, the ideal solution for the mobile retail and hospitality sectors. 
There is also a range of customer-not-present solutions available for e-commerce, mail order, and call centre merchants. Commidea’s ICP service provides fast and innovative online card payment processing. ICP is PCI DSS Level 1 approved, and processes transactions via Commidea’s hosted server, rather than through the merchant’s in-house management systems. It also utilises the latest online payment technology, such as Token Authentication and Payer Authentication (Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode).
Commidea can also provide a variety of value-added services to allow merchants to use their payment systems to their full potential. Contactless payments is one of the latest advancements in card payment technology, and is available now as part of your card payment system. With the ‘wave and pay’ technology, it allows customers to make payments (under £10) without the need to enter a Chip and PIN code, reducing queuing times and improving customer experience.
Merchants can use some of the value-adds provided by Commidea as additional marketing tools. E-Gift and Loyalty card schemes enable merchants to generate additional revenue and increase customer loyalty, and eliminates the need for printed paper vouchers, which can be lost or damaged. Also available are Mobile Vouchers, which enable merchants to promote offers and increase customer loyalty by sending unique codes directly to customers via SMS.
