Atlanta, January, 31 2022 – Elavon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Bank and one the largest payments processors globally, is proud to be honored by The Strawhecker Group (TSG) in its 2022 Real Transaction Metrics Awards. Powered by TSG’s Gateway Enterprise Metrics (GEM) platform, GEM uses pings and real transactions to monitor each gateway’s performance from over 20 different global locations 24/7/365. All transaction metrics are calculated by utilizing real TSG cards to complete transactions at real TSG merchants around the globe.
Elavon’s Fusebox gateway received first place for Fastest Transactions. GEM measures the time it takes for a transaction authorization to complete using a signature debit and/or credit card, just as a consumer would experience at the merchant. Elavon’s Fusebox received this award for having the fastest average transaction speed.
Performance data was assessed across more than twenty industry-leading payments providers for 2021 to determine the Real Transaction Metrics Awards.
“I’m thrilled our Fusebox gateway is being recognized for its best-in-class gateway speed, a critical component in a seamless customer experience,” said Jamie Walker, Elavon CEO.
