The update will allow merchants to build on MagTek’s payment application certification (L3) with EMV system compliance processors and use QwickPAY for acceptance of magstripe payments.

MagTek obtained the EMV certification from First Data Merchant Services (FDC) Nashville/North, TSYS and Worldpay. The firm also expects to secure Chase and Elavon certification over the coming months.

MagTek general manager and vice-president of retail solutions John Arato said: “We are excited to offer EMV chip card capability with QwickPAY. It gives our resellers and distributors a great value-add in a really easy format to onboard. Their customers can be up and running in a matter of days instead of weeks.”

Currently, QwickPAY can be used with MagTek’s eDynamo or DynaPro devices for card-present payments, including both magnetic stripe and EMV transactions, on mobile or virtual terminals.
