"We (Pandora) had to undertake a routine forensic analysis of our payments and fraud processes as we grew our directly owned store count from 19 to 124. Such an expansion is a big challenge. I had complete confidence in Nexpay, who helped us transition easily. In doing so, they provided insights, advice and a robust system for us to follow. I am confident that with the new protocols, our customers are secure."

Through Fraud Defence First's work, all Toni & Guy UK salons under management have achieved PCI council compliance certificates for all salons, and the Toni & Guy brand now enjoys the peace of mind that goes hand in hand with Visa and Mastercard compliance."
