TSYS Transaction Central Gateway

Transaction Central is a payment gateway by TSYS, formerly TransFirst. It is a legacy gateway system that provides full-featured functionality including a virtual terminal, software integrations, tokenization, and recurring payments. While still available and fully supported by Host Merchant Services, Transaction Central is a legacy system that is no longer provisioned unless you have a specific need for a particular integration, or if you have existing billing information stored in a Transaction Central account. Newer gateway options such as Transaction Express and TSYS TransIT are now available.

Over the internet, be wary of unsolicited email messages that request personal information for the purpose of updating a company’s member or billing information. The victim is made to believe the company is genuine when, in approaches like this, called phishing or spoofing, the company is often bogus. This is yet another way individuals scheme to obtain information for fraudulent usage.
