Peach Payments PaySafe is used by many travel companies to send payment links to their customers, to request payment for events, conferences and travel tickets.
Why is my customer getting a fraud alert for a Peach PaySafe link ?
Some banks may send their client a notification email to warn them of a transaction that has been processed overseas and could be fraudulent. The reason why the transaction is seen as an overseas transaction by the bank, (even if the customer was making a payment online, still in their country) is because the merchant (website or app) would have a South African, Kenyan or Mauritius merchant account for card processing.
