14 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 16 JUNE 2019 COMMERCIAL REGISTRATIONS are cur- rently open to women who are actively involved in business ventures or simply mums who are looking to return to the workplace, to attend a semi- nar being held on Thursday 20th June at the Corinthia Pal- ace Hotel. Frank Salt Real Estate has teamed up with a number of Malta's top-rated successful business women and real es- tate female professionals to give women a better insight on what it takes to embark on a thriving career - be it in business, in real estate or as an entrepreneur. The seminar will be head- ed by over 20 panellists and moderators, including Ari- adne Massa and Vanessa Macdonald, with the vast ma- jority of them being working women, who will be sharing their experiences with the au- dience. Some of the panels being dis- cussed include: 'Re-imagining the workplace for the modern parent', 'Different models of career success in real estate' and 'The Aspirations of the Millenials'. What makes a success- ful brand and how do you go about standing above the crowd? How do you go about navigating the stresses of be- ing a female entrepreneur? How do you overcome the difficulties of balancing fam- ily and work life? Going back to work after time out on maternity leave can feel re- ally daunting. How do you go about refocusing on your career and regaining the con- fidence as a working mum? What makes real estate ideal as a career option? Real Estate is ideal for wom- en who are looking for a dy- namic career that not only pays well but also provides a platform for constant learning and self-development. Why is this so? And what does it take to make it in real estate? "The seminar will answer the above questions and much more and participants will also have the opportunity to network with like-minded people" said Director Godfrey Swain. "We are doing our bit to move things forward by mak- ing a conscious effort to re- cruit more female estate agents, whilst also giving valu- able insight based on the chal- lenges today's women face in the workplace" Swain added.

This Smart 3D Secure solution was built in-house by Credorax on top of Netcetera's advanced 3D Secure core technology, which is EMVCo certified and compliant with major EMV 3D Se- cure scheme programs. Credorax has implemented the Necetera solution in- to its payment processing gateway and added an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based optimisation engine that analy- ses each transaction in real-time for the best business results. This early-mar- ket offering will assist merchants with their compliance requirements to card schemes and European regulations in the most seamless way possible, ensur- ing high acceptance rates. "New mandated processing require- ments can be seen as a burden, but they can also drive innovation. In this instance, it inspired us to develop a solution for optimized usage of 3D Secure, facilitat- ing frictionless customer authentication and smooth customer experiences," said Moshe Selfin, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Technology Officer at Credo- rax. "We are excited to partner with Net- cetera to launch this NextGen solution, which offers our merchants the added advantage of compliancy to the Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) require- ments in the upcoming Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2)." While confusion still surrounds PSD2 in Europe and the transition to the new 3D Secure 2.0 protocol going into effect this year, Credorax's Smart 3D Secure ensures that companies fully comply with the PSD2 requirements for Strong Consumer Authentication. It also comes with compelling business benefits, help- ing merchants improve conversions, op- timise their checkout process, reduce fraud, and stay protected from fraudulent chargeback li- ability. Using Netcetera's core technology, Credorax's new Smart 3D Secure offers secure user authentication, supporting 3D Secure protocols 1 and 2, as well as a fully comprehensive mobile application SDK. In ad- dition, Cerdorax's 3D Secure Adviser is an AI-based flexible decision layer that analyses each transaction in real time and decides on the best 3D Secure routing, including risk assessment and exemption management.
