The deal will allow Paragon to offer the UL Brand Test Tool to its ATM and financial clients for EMV contact and contactless testing and certification.

B2 exclusively distributes and supports the UL suite of payment test tools in the North American market, which includes the UL Brand Test Tool. The UL payment test tool products are developed by UL.

Paragon CEO Jim Perry said: "B2 has established a strong reputation in the EMV channel through their expertise and partnership with UL. Combining B2’s expertise and the UL Brand Test Tool with Paragon’s market-leading ATM end-to-end testing solutions will create the most comprehensive offering in the market while streamlining the testing process for organizations migrating to EMV."

B2 Payment Solutions president Bruce Murray said: "B2 and Paragon have had an informal relationship for several years and we are very excited to finally formalize this relationship and to leverage Paragon’s deep knowledge and reputation in the ATM industry.

"With B2’s extensive EMV experience providing training, test tools and technical consultancy, along with our UL partnership, B2 enhances Paragon’s portfolio of products to deliver a world class EMV implementation suite that will assist Paragon’s customers to successfully complete their EMV and contactless migration projects."
