She emphasized that Scotia eCom+ Hosted Payment Page (HPP) is feature-rich and supports multi-currency transactions.

"The main benefit for our businesses customers using this option is that Scotiabank will manage all payment industry certification requirements, thereby reducing cost and time to deploy the service by the customer," Whylie further noted.

There is Scotia API for businesses with their own personalized online structures that need transaction security in their E-Commerce systems, which allows businesses full integration. This solution can be incorporated into a client's new or existing online platform for maximum integration, which gives local businesses simple yet complete control of business processes and payment pages.

The new systems also offer fraud protection for buyers and businesses, using methods such as two-factor authentication and the ability to conveniently access real-time reporting to manage sales transactions from any device at any time from any location.

"We have piloted the solutions with several customers to ensure the security and reliability of all three eCommerce solutions and are confident that these services will add value to businesses allowing them to capitalize on increased demand for electronic sales from consumers," Nelson assured.
