Handpoint receives mobile EMV certification from TSYS

Wednesday 2 March 2016 00:27 CET | News

TSYS, a US credit card processor, has certified the mobile EMV solution brought to the US by Handpoint, a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) platform provider.

TSYS is the first processor in the US to certify Handpoint’s mobile EMV solution, which is designed to enable partners with the ability to offer semi-integrated EMV on iOS, Android, and Windows devices.

Handpoint’s semi-integrated offering provides pre-certified EMV payments to integrated software vendors (ISVs) and value-added resellers (VARs) of NextGenPOS (mPOS/tabletPOS). The solution enables integration to a range of card readers and all payment types with P2PE security in just a few lines of code.

The solution helps developers to focus on core product innovation, while adding a secure method for accepting payments, including magnetic stripe, EMV and NFC contactless payments.

Using a semi-integrated architecture, exchanges between the PIN pad and point-of-sale (POS) are limited to non-sensitive data. With an integration to Handpoint, ISVs avoid lengthy EMV certifications, and their PCI compliance is simplified.
