Behind the acronym DROWN is a security hole which potentially affects around a third of all HTTPS websites. Immediately after the threat was announced on 1 March 2016, the paysafecard security team inspected the company’s own website, as well as those of the other group companies. The result is unequivocal – none of our websites demonstrate even the slightest security risk to it.

Paysafe has been publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) since the end of 2015 and will be in the FTSE 250 on 21 March 2016. This underscores the global importance of the parent company of paysafecard, which its other subsidiaries, NETELLER, Skrill, payolution and FANS, also profit from. Together they provide merchants precisely the right payment solutions for businesses and consumers around the world.

Recent months have delivered one success after another for paysafecard: the takeover of Ukash; the new ownership structure and new name Paysafe Group; the continuation of its successful sponsorship of the ESL in the important gamer community; and not least: fantastic key figures demonstrating consistent new peak values.

Big names are driving digital development forward – and with Sony and paysafecard, two major names have now come together. The new partnership makes it possible to shop and pay online on Sony PlayStation Store, allowing PlayStation players in 19 countries – including Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the UK – to buy whatever their gaming hearts desire from console games. And not only using the console, but also PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Udo Müller, CEO of paysafecard, shares the excitement of many fans about this development: “Being able to win over one of the biggest names in the digital world to paysafecard means delivering a whole new level of quality in payments to millions of PlayStation users. At the same time, the trust shown by Sony demonstrates the professional standard at which the partnership with paysafecard operates. We will continue in precisely this manner!”
