Compass Plus assures this solution works with
existing magstripe card management systems. This way, the EMV
migration requires less changes to the existing system and in
certain scenarios none at all, according to Compass Plus.
With the EMV Empowerment Toolkit
there is no need to migrate magstripe card management
system.
“This process is less costly and
time-intensive for the issuers and acquirers and will help them
meet the deadlines set forth by the payment networks,” said Anthony
Genovese, vice-president of consulting services at Compass
Plus.
Globally, 45 % of all payment cards and 76 %
of all payment terminals in circulation are based on EMV
technology, according to data released by EMVCo, the EMV standards
