BALTIMORE, Md / ICVERIFY, Inc., the leading provider of software solutions for authorization of credit, debit/ATM card and check guarantee transactions, today announced the availability of a new processing software package able to integrate charges from multiple sites within a hotel, including restaurant/bar, spas, pro shops and gift shops.

ICVERIFY's hotel package provides all the credit, verification, processing and capture needed in the hotel industry today.

Unique Customer Programs

In addition to offering an Integration Support Program (ISP), which provides users training and unlimited phone access to support personnel, ICVERIFY's hotel package is compatible with leading property management systems and can be easily integrated into the customer's existing software.

Included with ICVERIFY's ISP is a Software Developer's Kit, a CD ROM available exclusively to developers enrolled in the Program. After installation, ICVERIFY's Help Desk Partnership Program provides a developer with help desk training and on-going second level support.

"The network functionality provided by this cutting-edge offering of ICVERIFY recognizes the growing customer demand for efficiency and accuracy in the hotel business," explains ICVERIFY's vice president of marketing David R. Krimm, "and together with our Help Desk Partnership Program ensures a smooth operation on both sides of the registration desk."

ICVERIFY is compliant with Visa's Custom Payment Services (CPS). Custom Payment Services are Visa regulations allowing merchants in the hospitality industry to take advantage of the best possible transaction processing rates.

The new regulations require additional customer information to be sent from the merchant to the credit card processor, increasing the security of the transaction. ICVERIFY has completed CPS certification with most of the major U.S. transaction processors.
