A letter from our CEO

Happy New Year

It is with pleasure that we kick-off the inaugural issue of CyberSource’s newsletter – Viewpoint. I believe you will find the industry news and trend information helpful, as well as the insights on new product capabilities, applications and best practices.

2011 was a year of tremendous growth for CyberSource. With the support of our Visa family, we expanded our scope of operations in every region of the world. Additionally, we’ve released new capabilities, such as the world’s largest fraud detection radar, that harness the combined assets of Visa and CyberSource to help you streamline operations and capture even more revenue.

As we execute our plans for 2012, I have asked my teams to maintain an active dialog with you, and one means of doing so is this newsletter. I want to ensure we proactively provide information, perspectives and insights that help you get the most out of your relationship with CyberSource.

I wish you all the best for a prosperous New Year, and look forward to building an even closer partnership in 2012.

Sincerely,
Michael Walsh
CEO, CyberSource
