i2c Becomes First Issuer Processor Certified Globally to Enable Visa Click to Pay

New certification helps i2c support faster, more secure, and frictionless eCommerce experiences for cardholders worldwide

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--i2c Inc., a global financial technology innovator, today announced it is certified by Visa, a world leader in digital payments, to globally enable Click to Pay, the new global EMVCo standard in online checkout designed to improve security, authorization rates, and the overall eCommerce experience. With this certification, clients can enable Click to Pay across multiple regions through a single integration with i2c.

Click to Pay is a seamless, secure and tokenized digital checkout experience that bypasses the need for consumers to enter card numbers or billing information. With Visa Click to Pay, users can check out online with a single click. By leveraging network tokenization to replace card numbers with dynamic tokens, Click to Pay offers a 31% reduction in fraud and a 4.3% lift in authorization rates, compared to traditional PAN-based payments.

According to Top Trends in Retail Banking & Payments 2025, a new report by Datos Insights, “Click to Pay has the potential to eliminate manual card entry at the checkout, helping merchants to reduce cart abandonment. Financial institutions serving merchants should offer easy integration of this new payment method. Card issuers should work with the card networks to enroll their customers.”

Click to Pay is gaining global momentum, with 128% annual transaction growth and 89% of consumers rating it as good as or better than other digital payment methods. By enabling Visa Click to Pay as a standard feature of credit, debit, and prepaid card programs, i2c helps clients to stay at the forefront of evolving consumer behaviors in digital commerce.

“In the payments ecosystem, friction is failure,” said Thad Peterson, Strategic Advisor at Datos Insights. “Any tool that can reduce the friction around payments will help to increase transaction volume. Click to Pay simplifies the transaction process for customers, reducing cart abandonment and increasing sales. Beyond simplifying the purchase process, fraud goes down and authorizations increase with Click to Pay, making it a trifecta for issuers on the i2c platform.”

“As digital commerce continues to evolve, consumers now expect speed, simplicity, and security in every transaction,” said Seth Perlman, Global Head of Product at i2c Inc. “Achieving certification as the first issuer processor to enable Visa Click to Pay globally is a proud moment for us that builds on our ongoing work with Visa. It marks a meaningful step forward in empowering our clients and their customers with quick, seamless, and secure online shopping experiences.”

i2c's new certification marks an exciting milestone in the deepening collaboration between Visa and i2c, reinforcing their commitment to delivering innovative electronic payment solutions to issuers. Fueled by shared success and strategic alignment, i2c is driving transformative growth and disruptive innovation—reshaping the customer experience in today’s fast-paced digital payments world.
