Worldnet Payments and POSDATA have entered into a strategic agreement to offer EMV payments solutions that are pre-certified and fully integrated.
The solutions are targeted to help independent software vendors (ISVs) who struggle to manage all the different elements of payments across multiple hardware and software vendors.
The hardware components of the EMV payments solution will be supplied by POSDATA, while Worldnet will be responsible for managing the developer-facing software. These two aspects will become part of a common commercial and support framework.
Worldnet Payments CEO Will Byrne said: “ISVs who want to deliver payments capability to their customers often have the problem of dealing with multiple touchpoints across hardware suppliers, distributors, payments gateways and merchant accounts.
“Worldnet and POSDATA are well-positioned to deliver all of these components in an integrated solution. Together, we can deliver this through a single interface to the customer, which is worth more than the sum of its parts for ISVs.”
POSDATA CEO Jeffrey Creighton said: “Worldnet’s integrated and pre-certified EMV payments solutions, combined with POSDATA deployment capabilities including equipment stocking, software loading, and encryption key injection, will greatly enhance the ability for ISVs to develop and support payment solutions.”
Developing frictionless payments solutions for independent software vendors, Worldnet’s omni-channel platform is used to offer expert solutions in industries such as unattended retail, transportation and professional services. Its cloud platform offers a range of EMV-enabled products and services across channels including eCommerce, Mobile, PoS and iPoS.
POSDATA is the premier payments systems distributor for the North American channel. Besides providing payment equipment brands, POSDATA offers comprehensive, single-source deployment, configuration, installation, and support services.
