Elavon’s Fusebox payment gateway was recognized as the year’s Best Performing Gateway and took first place for Fastest Transactions and Highest Authorization Rate.

Powered by TSG’s Gateway Experience Monitoring (GEM) platform, GEM monitors real credit card transactions and pings from over 30 global locations across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific 24/7/365 to benchmark gateway performance. All metrics are calculated by utilizing real TSG credit cards to complete transactions at real TSG merchants around the globe.

The Best Performing Gateway award is based on the GEM Index, an overall scorecard for gateway metrics based on five key areas (gateway minute outage, gateway availability, transaction speed, transaction success rate, and authorization rate). Elavon received this award for its exceptional performance across transaction and gateway check benchmarks.

Performance data was assessed across more than twenty industry-leading global payments providers for 2022 to determine the Real Transaction Metrics Awards.
