Cardknox Returns To RetailNOW With An EMV Solution For VARs

Cardknox Development Inc., a leading gateway and payments provider specializing in EMV solutions announced its upcoming return to RetailNOW, the premier trade show event for the retail technology and point of sale industry hosted by the Retail Solution Providers Association (RSPA).

This past October, counterfeit card liability shifted to merchants in certain cases unless they had replaced or upgraded their card acceptance and processing systems for use with EMV-enabled devices and applications.

“Since the liability shift, merchants are feeling the pinch of chargebacks and are approaching VARs and ISVs in search of an EMV solution,” said Yanky Weiss, Chief Technology Officer at Cardknox. “We have engineered a solution that integrates with a plethora of terminals and a myriad of processors enabling VARs and ISVs to accommodate all their merchants, with only a few lines code necessary to integrate.”

Cardknox helps VARs and ISVs integrate secure and flexible payments to embrace EMV, emerging technologies, and next-generation online solutions. Cardknox simplifies how payments are processed at point of sale and through web and mobile applications, serving customers across every major industry throughout the United States, UK and Canada.

Mark Paley, Director of Partner Sales at Cardknox explains, “We understand the challenging position that VARS have found themselves in after the EMV shift. Merchants may have recently invested in their current terminal or POS (point of sales) system and have a processor that they already use. They need a gateway solution that is flexible enough to work with their current infrastructure, and Cardknox has delivered that. We’ve had phenomenal results across all major processors and terminals.”

Shlomo Sasson, VP of Technology at Cardknox, has another EMV solution for VARs. “Internet browsers present a unique challenge for EMV compatibility, since EMV encryption cannot be passed to a web browser. Cardknox has designed a seamless solution that enables EMV for browser-based POS systems.”.

Cardknox is committed to discovering custom solutions for industry problems and challenges without compromising on quality or security.

“It’s the most flexible and customizable gateway on the market with the widest range of EMV terminals and processors,” said Larry Weider, Senior Sales Executive at Cardknox. “We identify with each reseller’s specific circumstances and needs. Cardknox has the technological know-how, flexibility and superior customer service to provide a tailor-made solution for our customers. Each and every time.”
