Bluefin and payment service provider Anderson Zaks have formed a partnership to sort out security on payment processing.
The idea is to provide Bluefin’s PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) security solution to merchants and retailers using Anderson Zaks’ RedCard Payment Processing System.
Anderson Zaks provides a global, integrated payment processing environment for retailers and merchants through the company’s RedCard Payment Gateway, which includes EPOS, Payment Page, Virtual Terminal, UPT and Cloud processing. The company serves over 15,000 sites and provides seamless integration between the merchants and Payment applications, supporting all UK and Irish acquirers as well as many from across continental Europe.
Bluefin allows PCI-validated P2PE on processing platforms and point-of-sale (EPOS) systems using their Decryptx Decryption as a Service (DaaS) product, which lets gateways, applications, and processors to connect directly to Bluefin for P2PE service, it’s claimed.
“With the continual growth in credit and debit cards and transaction volumes, criminals have become aware of the monetary gains available from stealing card details. There have been many high profile data security breaches that have resulted in damage to customer reputation, fines and large financial losses”, said Adina Ahmed, CTO, Anderson Zaks. “We believe that PCI-validated P2PE provides our merchants significant security benefits and we are thrilled to partner with Bluefin to deliver this solution to our customers.”
“Data breaches show no signs of slowing down, both in the U.S. and internationally. In fact, hackers continue to breach the systems of major retailers, enterprises and healthcare organizations to get card data because unfortunately, many organizations are still not encrypting consumers’ credit cards upon entry”, said Greg Cornwell, Head of Global Sales, Bluefin. “This is a global problem and we applaud U.K.-based Anderson Zaks for providing the security and PCI scope reduction of PCI-validated P2PE to users of the RedCard Payment Processing System.”
