Security Overview

Transform Your Phone Payment Process

DTMF suppression technology eliminates the audible tones that customers hear when entering their card details over the phone. This not only protects sensitive information from being overheard but also creates a more professional and trustworthy payment experience.

Complete Security

Eliminate audible card entry tones to protect sensitive information from being overheard by anyone nearby.

Customer Trust

Create a more professional and trustworthy payment experience that builds confidence in your brand.

Seamless Integration

Integrates seamlessly with your existing phone systems and IVR infrastructure without disrupting operations.

Business Benefits

DTMF Suppression delivers immediate business value by eliminating customer privacy concerns while maintaining full agent interaction, leading to higher conversion rates and improved customer satisfaction.

Every time a customer hesitates to give card details because they're worried about being overheard, you lose revenue. Every time an agent can't help during payment because of security concerns, you lose customer satisfaction. DTMF Suppression eliminates both problems while maintaining the personal touch your customers expect.

Higher Conversion Rates

When customers feel secure and can still get agent support, they complete more transactions. Fewer abandoned calls mean more revenue and better customer experience.

Reduced PCI Compliance Scope

Significantly reduce your PCI DSS compliance scope since card data is masked and not audibly transmitted. Lower compliance costs and audit requirements while maintaining security.

Enhanced Customer Experience

Customers can pay from any environment without privacy concerns while maintaining full agent interaction. No more waiting for quiet spaces or private moments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our IVR payment solutions

DTMF suppression is a technology that masks the audible tones generated when customers press keys on their phone during payment entry while keeping the agent connected to the customer throughout the call. This prevents sensitive card information from being heard by anyone nearby while allowing agents to answer questions and provide support during the payment process. Our system uses advanced tone masking technology that completely eliminates the risk of card data being overheard while maintaining full agent interaction.
By implementing DTMF suppression, your organization can significantly reduce its PCI DSS compliance scope. Since card data is masked and not audibly transmitted, the risk of data interception is eliminated. This allows you to classify your agent-assisted payment system as a lower-risk environment, potentially reducing compliance costs and audit requirements while maintaining the same level of security and customer interaction.

The system also supports integration with your existing customer notification systems to ensure a seamless experience aligned with your current business processes.
PCI compliance costs are unpredictable and keep changing. With DTMF Suppression, you get a fixed, budgetable cost with Paytia versus the unknown cost of trying to meet constantly changing card security compliance requirements. You significantly reduce your PCI scope since card data is masked and not audibly transmitted, lowering your compliance costs and audit requirements.
With the amount of fraud and scams happening, customers are increasingly concerned about privacy. They worry about colleagues, family members, or people in public spaces overhearing their card details. This privacy concern leads to abandoned transactions, delayed payments, and lost revenue. DTMF Suppression eliminates these concerns by masking all keypad tones.
Without addressing customer privacy concerns, you face higher abandonment rates, lower conversion rates, and reduced customer trust. Customers will find excuses to pay later, choose competitors who make them feel more secure, or avoid phone payments entirely. Every abandoned transaction represents lost revenue and every customer who feels uncomfortable represents a damaged relationship.
