Discover® Is Partnering With The POS Channel To Accelerate EMV Deployment
By John Badovinac, Head Of Integrated Payments, Discover Financial Services
Discover® is Engaged with the Channel on EMV
For the past several years Discover has been in discussions with key participants in the integrated Payments Channel in order to help plan for and accelerate EMV deployment. Discover has conducted EMV engagement discussions with the top ISVs in the channel in order to share information and validate EMV enablement plans. These ISVs account for the majority of merchants enabled within the POS ecosystem. These discussions have been beneficial to both parties as we have identified several ways to align interests and accelerate deployment of the Discover EMV specification called D -PAS. Discover recognizes that ISVs have a variety of solutions that they can explore to enable their merchant portfolios for EMV acceptance and this engagement has proven to be very valuable to our partners as they explore options including direct payments application integration, semi-integrated options, and solutions provided by Gateways and hardware providers.
