VeriFone has developed a mobile card
acceptance solution with built-in NFC and EMV capabilities for US
merchants.
VeriFone’s ‘PAYware Mobile Enterprise’, due to
be launched early this year, is designed to integrate with
merchants’ existing in-store POS terminals and is claimed to be
ready for the anticipated roll-out of both EMV smartcards and
NFC-enabled mobile phones in the US.

The solution includes a PCI-approved PIN debit
keypad and a 2D bar code scanner to allow merchants to perform
mobile check-out or inventory control tasks. The software is also
supported by VeriFone’s PAYware Connect gateway for payment
acceptance outside of store environments.
“With PAYware Mobile Enterprise, retailers can
revolutionise customer service and store operations by utilising
versatile mobile applications and secure payment acceptance
integrated with existing POS infrastructure,” said Erik Vlugt,
VeriFone’s vice president of product marketing.
“VeriFone’s card encryption and tokenization
solution for smart devices isolates payment actions to ensure
retailers can maintain a secure payment environment.”
VeriFone plans to update the current PAYware
solution and provide customised applications and critical
management, decryption/tokenisation and gateway services in a bid
to enable new mobile applications such as ‘in-store queue-busting’,
inventory management and out-of-store delivery and service
calls.

By GlobalDataAs smartphones and WiFi-enabled PDAs were not
originally “designed for use as payment acceptance devices”
according to VeriFone, it has incorporated its VeriShield Total
Protect product. This is claimed to provide encryption and
tokenisation to protect data in-flight and at-rest and to isolate
payment activities from device applications and storage.
