Visa approval
iZettle has announced that its Chip & PIN and Chip & Signature mobile payments solutions has been approved by the Visa Ready Program, making iZettle mPOS solutions software and hardware Visa Ready. The approval applies to Visa Inc territories.
This comes after iZettle’s successful enrollment last June in the Visa Ready Program, which is designed to provide innovators with an easy way to collaborate with Visa and quickly introduce Visa-compliant devices, software, and solutions that can be used to initiate or accept Visa payments. Visa Inc. introduced its Visa Ready Program in February 2013.
“We’re honored to receive the Visa Ready approval for our combined mPOS hardware and software,” says iZettle, co-founder and CEO, Jacob de Geer. “We see this as a reflection of our continuous commitment to providing the highest standards for our users and we will be taking our solution to other Visa Inc. markets soon.”
