"In addition, the strong growth in merchants' sales outside their domestic market confirms the interest of a global, integrated e-payment solution. We are pleased to be able to continue to simplify the payment process for our clients, notably over the internet, through the unique combination of our Ogone and GlobalCollect solutions."
