Toronto, Canada (PRWeb UK/PRWEB ) June 1, 2010 -- YESpay International Ltd, a global card payments services company, has completed the EMV chip and PIN end-to-end certification of its EMBOSS card payment service with Chase Paymentech and First Data, two major card acquirers in the USA and Canada. YESpay is now working with merchants in the USA and Canada who need to upgrade their retail POS systems to EMV chip-and-PIN card payment standards: Merchants can thus process EMV Chip & PIN cards that are being globally issued including in Canada and Mexico within USA thus stopping cross-border card fraud to migrate from Canada and Mexico to USA.
Wal-Mart to support smartcard payments, Computerworld, 21 May 2010), the retail giant Wal-Mart is reportedly planning to make all its payment terminals in its U.S. stores chip-and-PIN-capable. Such a move would definitely trigger other U.S. merchants to move to chip-and-PIN transaction processing.”
It has also been recently reported that the United Nations Federal Credit Union has plans to start issuing EMV compliant credit cards to its customers very soon, hence ensuring the commencement of EMV card issuance in USA to assist with rapid adoption.
Europe and other regions including Canada and Mexico are successfully migrating to the EMV chip-and-PIN card technology but the U.S. has not yet decided, largely because of the cost concerns. However, all the latest developments lead to the fact that the U.S. industry is moving in this direction.
It is true that the imminent EMV chip-and-PIN card rollout in the USA will certainly reveal a challenge for merchants that will have to upgrade their integrated EPOS point of sale systems to accept payments with EMV chip-and-PIN cards which YESpay can provide help in.
The YESpay EMBOSS managed credit / debit card payment service overcomes the cost and timescale challenges and provides an innovative and low cost solution that helps merchants integrate online card payments with their existing retail infrastructures while providing a simplified migration path to EMV compliance for credit and debit card acceptance.
