Why GlobalCollect?

In 2005, 86% of all Lycos transactions in Germany were direct debit payments, while in The Netherlands, almost 82% were direct debits. This shows that in certain countries local alternatives to credit cards needs to be offered in order not to lose sales.

Integrating GlobalCollect’s payment platform enabled Lycos Europe to broaden their payment methods portfolio. It also enabled Lycos to charge all premium services through a signe payment engine, able to bundle micro-payments into a single invoice.
