Ingenico and Vantiv Partner for NFC Mobile Payments

Ingenico announced today that the processor has chosen Ingenico's new generation Telium series point-of-sale (POS) products coupled with Vantiv point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solution for marketing and sale to its financial institution and merchant customers in the United States. In a proactive move to facilitate the migration to more secure EMV chip-based and NFC mobile payments in the U.S., the two companies collaborated and completed the Class A certification of the Telium series devices. The certification covers a comprehensive range of Ingenico's Telium devices including iCT220 & iCT250 countertop terminals, iWL220 & iWL250BT (Bluetooth) wireless devices, and iPP220 & iPP320 PIN pads.
The entire Telium range of products is designed to comply with the industry's most stringent PCI PTS security requirements and combine the latest POS technologies. The new Ingenico POS products fully support Vantiv P2P card data encryption solution to enable merchants to conveniently and securely accept electronic payment.
Built around Ingenico's Telium 2 architecture and EMV Level 2 kernel, the Telium range comes standard with all payment technologies already embedded such as contactless and NFC and ready to activate, so there is no need for add-on devices or components. This provides merchants with flexibility to seamlessly accept EMV, NFC, contactless and traditional magnetic strip cards.
