LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Verifone (NYSE: PAY) today announced that its comprehensive payment services solution, Verifone Point Classic, has been integrated with Revel Systems’ leading iPad Point of Sale (POS) to simplify EMV acceptance and payment management for merchants.
Payments have become remarkably complex for merchants and POS providers in light of the EMV migration, as well as new certification requirements, ongoing PCI changes and data security threats. Managing such complexity can be very costly for merchants and software providers in terms of time and resources.
PARTNERING FOR ENHANCED PAYMENTS
By seamlessly integrating with Verifone Point Classic, Revel allows its clients the choice to have their payment systems managed by Verifone, a world leader in payments and commerce solutions. Combining world-class hardware and services into a flexible and robust managed services suite, the capabilities of Verifone’s solution grow in lockstep with the market, ensuring that partners and merchants have access to the latest technologies in payment, loyalty, and rewards, as well as support for the latest standards and regulatory compliance.
Through Verifone’s payment management solution, Revel is able to:
- Focus on further innovating its quick, intuitive, and secure iPad Point of Sale solution
- Provide its clients with faster access to payment innovation, such as mobile wallets and loyalty programs
- Reduce PCI scope and simplify EMV adoption for its clients while eliminating the need for re-certification as payment industry requirements change
“Revel is a platform designed to offer clients a seamless customer experience, and having a payment component that will simplify our clients’ lives is important to us,” said Lisa Falzone, co-founder and CEO of Revel. “Verifone has more than 30-years of payments expertise and a worldwide team of payments specialists that will provide our clients with the most secure and technologically advanced payments capabilities. With this integration, we are continuing our mission to help business operators and entrepreneurs create the business of their dreams.”
SIMPLIFYING AND SECURING THE PAYMENT PROCESS
Secure Commerce Architecture (SCA) is the foundation of Verifone’s payment services, which decouples sensitive payment data from the electronic cash register, or “ECR.” Payment data is protected by Verifone’s end-to-end encryption and tokenization and is securely relayed from the payment device directly to Verifone’s secure gateway or the merchant’s processor. This not only enhances security, but also simplifies compliance with PCI and other changing industry requirements.
BUILD ONCE. PORT MULTIPLE.
Verifone is able to continually update its software through its host system, so Revel clients can enjoy new payment enhancements and innovation without the need to update or re-certify their POS software.
“Managing payments can easily overwhelm merchants, ISV’s and resellers,” said Shan Ethridge, vice president and general manager, North America Financial Services Group, Verifone. “The integration of Verifone’s services with Revel’s iPad Point of Sale demonstrates how simple payments can be when merchants team with a leader in payments and a leader in business solutions through a single offering. Now, Revel can focus on building additional features for its clients and further enhancing its iPad Point of Sale solution, while Verifone takes care of the heavy lifting in the payments area.”
