Thinking Ahead For U.S. EMV

What to consider when choosing an EMV payments partner

With all the noise in the industry surrounding EMV, it’s difficult enough for POS, ISVs, and VARs to separate fact from fiction , let alone decide which payments solutions provider is the best fit for their point of sale going forward. It’s a stressful process — after all, choosing the wrong partner can lead to significant delays in placing an EMV-enabled solution in the hands of your customers. Even worse, committing to a solution that you realize, after completing development and certification, doesn’t quite meet your needs. To avoid this scenario, ISVs in search of a comprehensive EMV solution should consider a few criteria before choosing a payments provider.
