Orbiscom
Orbiscom was an electronic payments company based in Dublin, Ireland.[1] Orbiscom developed Controlled Payment Number technology to generate transaction-unique numbers for credit cards, preventing fraud by masking the original card number.[2] The company was founded in 1999 by Graham O'Donnell and Ian Flitcroft. In 2009, Orbiscom was acquired by Mastercard for €72.4 million and became a wholly owned subsidiary still trading under the Orbiscom name.[3][4][5]
