EMV Migration Forum gains another member
Paragon Application Systems, providers of ePayment simulation, configuration and testing solutions, has joined the EMV Migration Forum (view press release). Paragon becomes the latest firm to join the EMV Migration Forum, which was set up by the Smart Card Alliance, and is made up of payments industry professionals collaborating on issues relating to the migration from magnetic stripe cards to EMV chip-based cards in the United States.
Paragon has experience of working with customers in implementing their EMV migrations and worked with Moneris and Interac on development and certification during the Canadian EMV migration.
“We are very excited about joining the EMV Migration Forum,” said Gary Kirk, President of Paragon Application Systems. “The move to chip cards is difficult and complex, and we applaud collaborative efforts such as this. It doesn’t make sense for each individual organisation to face the challenges of chip alone, and the extensive EMV experience and knowledge of our staff positions us to make a strong contribution to the conversation.”
