Using certified payment solution
Integrated payments solution provider Precidia Technologies is certifying its payment solution to electronic commerce and payment processing firm First Data (view press release). The move allows Canadian point-of-sale (POS) software developers and vendors using Precidia’s solution to enable EMV (chip and PIN) compliant payments to connect to First Data for transaction processing.
The new service delivers PCI PA-DSS compliant, fully managed payment processing for credit, debit, gift and loyalty cards, and offers merchants a web portal to view all their transactions in near real time. It is available to users of all sizes ranging from single POS lane systems up to large multi-lane, multi-location retailers. The PIN pad is shipped directly to the site and remotely configured on first power up, and alerts will let the merchant know when the batch was settled and for how much.
Deepak Wanner, president, Precidia Payments, said: “This is just one of a range of innovative solutions Precidia is delivering to the Canadian payments market. We are pleased to be working with First Data, an industry leader that understands and leverages technology to benefit their customers.”
