This certification provides vendors with the ability to provide more
secure payment options to customers in unattended retail environments,
such as self-service parking and car wash solutions, and provides
another EMV processor option for Apriva’s large network of resellers.
The certification spans all major card brands including Visa,
Mastercard, American Express and Discover, enabling the use of EMV chip
card technology. The Globalcom BV1000 units are ruggedized for use
outdoors and can withstand extreme weather conditions, making them ideal
for this purpose. Due to its durable nature, this unattended solution is
frequently used at self-service payment stations in parking garages and
car washes around the country.
“Unattended payment solutions must bring durability, safety, security
and flexibility to merchants so they can accept payments as technologies
and security standards evolve,” said Stacey Finley Tappin, senior vice
president of sales and marketing communications at Apriva. “In addition
to the EMV certification on Global Payments, this latest EMV
certification on TSYS builds on our partnerships with Globalcom and our
various processor partners to deliver more choices to unattended vendors
and their customers throughout the U.S.”
Apriva's Integration Services Program allows Independent Software
Vendors (ISVs), and mobile and embedded developers, to easily implement
credit, debit, EBT, loyalty and closed-loop payment processing—including
multiple campus card systems—into their solutions. Once integrated,
applications and POS solutions can communicate with the Apriva Gateway
over a wired or wireless network. Apriva maintains relationships with
more than 30 payment processors in North America, along with all of the
leading wireless carriers, and currently works with more than 1,100
merchant acquirers and ISOs across the United States and Canada, giving
merchants and partners the choice to deploy end-to-end solutions best
fit for their business.
“Patrons of unattended solutions want simple, safe and secure payments,”
said Alessandro Gardinazzi, international business development for
Globalcom Engineering. “Combining our proven EMV hardware with Apriva’s
connections gives consumers and vendors the customizable, high quality,
and secure experience they desire. Furthermore, Apriva has been a great
partner for entering the U.S. market due to their knowledge of the U.S.
unattended market and regulations and their unmatched processor
connections, which will enable us to penetrate multiple market segments
more quickly.”
