Giving retail and hospitality POS and mPOS developers, ISVs and VARs even greater PINpad and processor choice and flexibility

Creditcall, the EMV-ready omni-channel payment gateway and EMV Kernel provider, today announced it has been certified by Elavon, a leading global payments provider, to accept EMV transactions via its Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Level 1 certified payment gateway using Ingenico Group’s iPP 320/350, Verifone’s VX 820 and Miura’s M007 & M010 PINpads with ChipDNA, Creditcall’s developer friendly EMV software development kit (SDK) for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

“Helping businesses accept EMV payments efficiently is one reason Elavon is a top five global processor, ” said Simon James, Senior Vice President of Strategic Customer Solutions for Elavon. “We have deep roots with Creditcall when it comes to helping our customers keep payment data secure, dating back to implementations in Europe and Canada, and MasterCard has applauded our current efforts in the U.S. This certification allows us to help more U.S. restaurants, hotels and retail store locations of all sizes as they work through the complex EMV acceptance process.”

“With these latest certifications, Creditcall is up to seven U.S. EMV certifications and enhances our long standing relationships with three global PINpad vendors. It further re-enforces the fact that with over 16 years’ experience of EMV, Creditcall is the defacto leader in the race to U.S. EMV certifications, ” said Jeremy Gumbley, CTO/CSO at Creditcall. “Increasing our range of U.S. PINpads and processor support is vital in giving our partners choice to meet their merchant customers’ requirements if a traditional POS or more flexible mPOS solution is required, no matter the platform.”

Creditcall’s ChipDNA provides point of sale (POS) and mobile POS (mPOS) retail and hospitality developers, ISVs and VARs with the highest level of cardholder data protection with the combination of EMV, point to point encryption (P2PE) and tokenization. ChipDNA is an SDK that can simply and quickly be integrated into Windows and Linux environments as well as to iOS and Android based mPOS payment solutions which brings secure EMV chip-card acceptance to tablets, smartphones and traditional PINpads, as well as eCommerce for card not present (CNP) transactions.

ChipDNA comes with a comprehensive reporting and management tool and a terminal management system (TMS) to efficiently manage and keep any number of PINpads remotely up to date, wherever they are located.
