Notes to editors
* Tokenization secures your payment credentials by replacing them with a randomly generated number which resembles the customer’s primary account number (PAN). This unique identifier, called a ‘payment token’ or ‘tokenized PAN’, is worthless if stolen as it essentially acts as a reference for a consumer’s original card data which only the card networks and/or the consumer’s bank can map back to the original account.
