The prize, awarded in the 'Innovation in Customer Service and Marketing
Technology' category, is the second award that the company has received for
their work in minimising chargebacks to their customers.

The project utilises decision making software and straight through
processing to minimise the time, cost and inconvenience of managing
chargebacks. This combination of technology and expert support results in
reduced costs, including the same-day defence of chargebacks, with both HSBC
Merchant Services and their merchants sharing the cost benefits.

"It is tremendously satisfying to receive another award for our work in
minimising the effects of chargebacks," said Darren Wilson, President HSBC
Merchant Services. "This is a key area of focus for HSBC Merchant Services
and, while our customers are already aware of the value that this project has
brought them, to have our efforts recognised by the independent experts in
the industry is a real bonus."

The Innovation In Banking Technology Awards are organised by The Banker
magazine. According to the publication, these global awards receive
submissions from companies across the world and seek to identify and
celebrate innovation and excellence in all areas of banking technology.
