Friday 16 January 2015 00:37 CET | News

First Data, a global payment technology solutions provider, and UL, a payment security and compliance provider, have inked a collaboration.

The agreement will help US merchants expedite their acceptance of EMV-enabled credit and debit cards. The solution will give large and mid-size merchants with integrated POS systems a one-stop EMV migration and certification solution for all major payment networks.

Combining UL’s accredited testing tools and centralized certification management platforms streamlines EMV migration by combining training, test tools and testing services, while eliminating the inefficiencies found in the current process of certifying to multiple end-points and certification authorities.
