- Higher transaction amounts on standard smartphones by entering the customer card PIN securely ...
- Smaller traders and traders will be able to accept cheaper amounts of money on the move
- Use of the Trustonic Application Protection (TAP) platform
18. Juni 2019 – München/Cambridge: Mobile security market leader Trustonic today announced the partnership with Rubean AG, Munich, (ISIN: DE0005120802, WKN: 512080), an established FinTech focused on mobile security, and CCV, a leading European payment solution provider. Together, a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) solution is being developed that accepts higher transaction amounts. This is made possible by the hardware-protected entry of the customer card PIN on standard smartphones.
The use of a smartphone as an mPOS terminal enables smaller retailers and traders to do without expensive payment acceptance hardware (mobile terminals) and still accept cashless payment methods securely and easily. Network operators and solution providers can also do without the acquisition and maintenance costs of traditional POS terminals. The fact that smartphone apps can easily be expanded to include new functions means that innovative, digital marketing and customer loyalty programs can be brought to market more quickly and used in retail.
With the help of the CCV server platform acCEPT, both the payment logic and security-critical elements can be mapped on smartphones via an app, with the payment process mainly taking place in the PCI-DSS protected cloud.
Rubean protects, personalizes and monitors the CCV payment client on the smartphone in compliance with the security requirements of the credit card organizations. TAP, an important part of the Rubean infrastructure, protects the entry of customer card PINs and thus enables higher transaction amounts, which means added value for retailers and consumers.
Ben Cade, Trustonic's CEO, says: “Using smartphones instead of their own card to pay is already widespread among consumers and using the same smartphone as a contactless, mobile payment acceptance terminal for retailers is one of the most exciting and significant trends in the world of paying. A TUI that is protected by a hardware-based Trusted Execution Environment is generally considered best practice for app-based mPOS terminals and TAP helps developers achieve this goal. Such a balanced security results in a simplified, richer and shorter user experience. We will support Rubean and CCV in developing a hardware-protected PhonePOS solution and rolling it out on some of the world's largest smartphone brands. "
Hermann Geupel, CEO of Rubean AG, adds: “The largest card organizations have been supporting the concept of a purely smartphone-based payment terminal since 2017. Against the background of growing demand from banks and retailers, Rubean and CCV are planning to launch a purely smartphone-based payment terminal with card PIN input supported by various card networks and partners in Europe. Trustonic’s TAP Toolkit offers us the most advanced and most secure user interface for entering a card PIN on standard smartphones. "
