PaySafe

PaySafe was the first secure electronic payment system for Credit Cards over the Internet.

PaySafe was conceived in Australia in 1991 by Dennis Charter and developed by a group of computer programmers headed by Justin Fanning. In 1996 PaySafe was launched in the United States. Its creators had such belief in its security that a US$10 Million 'prize' was offered to anyone who could hack the PaySafe security portal. No one made claim to the prize.
