Enabling customers’ growth while increasing
payment security
Elavon, a leading global payments provider and wholly owned
subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) announces enhanced products
for EMV readiness, security and support for Apple Pay.
“With so many changes converging in the consumer payments space,
could there be any more exciting time in our industry?” asks
Marianne Johnson, executive vice president of global product and
innovation at Elavon. “We’re delighted to be center stage, helping
our customers achieve their growth goals while keeping their
payments secure in the process. Our investments in mobile and other
innovative technologies are now paying off for our customers: when
a business is trying to accommodate the consumer who wants to pay
with their smart phone, and the next person in line who presents a
chip-embedded EMV card, they know they can rely on us to help them
make the sale with enhanced security and a great customer
experience.”
As businesses across the United States upgrade their payment
processes and systems to accept EMV transactions, they’re naturally
expecting to maximize any investment in new equipment to the
greatest extent possible. “We have chosen to upgrade now to an
EMV-enabled terminal,” said Rusty Bittle, owner of Pure Luxe Spa in
Knoxville, Tenn. “Knowing that the transactions we process offer
enhanced security for our business and our customers is consistent
with our mission of keeping our clients feeling relaxed and
renewed. At the same time, our new equipment also supports my
clients who want to use contactless technologies to pay at the
point of sale with products like Apple Pay, and that is a win-win
for us.”
Whether EMV readiness or security, Elavon helps businesses
tackle several critical payment needs with valuable solutions. This
also holds true for Safe-T, Elavon’s security product line. Safe-T
allows customers to implement a layered security model, selecting
from the right combination of EMV, tokenization, or encryption
solutions that fit their particular operating practices. For
businesses that rely on an integrated POS system, common in the
hospitality industry, for example, Elavon developed Simplify, a
security application that isolates and encrypts sensitive
cardholder data. This effectively bypasses the POS, minimizing the
otherwise extensive certification steps involved with PCI; at the
same time, Simplify supports EMV, NFC and Apple Pay.
