The NURIT 8020 is the best wireless terminal with pin debit available today. It’s a PCI PED approved secure handheld solution and probably the best selling wireless payment device in the world.

There are four reasons this unit should be at the top of your wireless terminal list.

First, the PED or Pin Entry Device meets 2010 pin debit standards. Not all units being sold on the internet meet this standard so merchants need to be careful in choosing. The PED is integrated into the handheld unit and is standard, not an option. All you need is the right merchant account to take advantage of pin debit rates transactions. Even though pin debit rates are increasing, merchants will still benefit from reduced risk by eliminating chargebacks.

Second, it has electronic signature capture. With the large memory capability, this can again help you reduce risk if you have back office operations to integrate to (for signature, not card data storage).

Third, it’s EMV approved. In a global world, this provides additional capability to accept a wider variety of cards including chip-based payment cards.

Fourth, the Nurit units have a long history of reliability both for the unit and connectivity.  Connect via Wifi, GSM, phone and TCP/IP.

if you have one event a year, this is could be over-kill, but it also depends on what  you have at risk for that one day.

The number of wireless credit card machines coming on the market is exploding, but for ‘road warriors’ this is a great dependable unit with all the features a merchant could want- there is no better at the time of this writing.

 

Ingenico Announces The First Open Architecture Implementation For Securing Cardholder Data From Terminal To Host: The Ingenico On-Guardâ„¢ Solution

Ingenico confirms its leadership in payment solutions by introducing a new security feature that encrypts cardholder data utilizing long-standing and proven industry security algorithms and methodologies without any change to the merchant’s transaction processor’s system.

Atlanta, GA, 7 January 2009. Ingenico announced that they are implementing a new open architecture security enhancement, the Ingenico On-Guardâ„¢ solution that will encrypt cardholder data from the transaction terminal to the merchant host, thus adding a significant security layer to card transactions that used to communicate in the clear.

The new solution will be available on the Ingenico terminals sold in North America. “With the increased amount of fraudulent activity in the electronic transaction industry, merchants require secure solutions they can trust to protect the data while in their retail systems. As the leading provider of payment solutions, Ingenico has taken the lead in producing a solution that will cause the least amount of disruption to the merchants business as well as one that is based on industry recognized and supported standards” said Lisa Shipley, SVP, Sales & Marketing, Ingenico North America.

“Unlike our competitors, Ingenico’s open standard allows merchants and acquirers alike the freedom to adopt this enhanced security feature without purchasing a proprietary decryption package, or risk adopting a new encryption technology that has not proven itself in the marketplace. The security algorithms used in the Ingenico’s On-Guard™ Solution have been backed by the financial industry for years and have proven to be more than effective in protecting sensitive and private information” continued Shipley. The Ingenico On-Guard™ encryption solution which incorporates MagneSafe™, a state-of-the-art security technology from MagTek, is available for both large and small merchants.

The software is remotely downloaded into the transaction terminal without the need to swap the PIN pad for key injection. This results in a less intrusive fix as well as one that can be performed faster and at lower cost than competitive solutions.

The Ingenico On-Guard™ Solution secures the primary account number and personal information on the magnetic stripe card by encrypting selected information from point of entry (card swipe) to the merchants host and or the Processor directly. Once received at the merchant’s host, a decryption service is provided by Ingenico so the merchant can utilize the data for their approval and settlement purposes with their transaction Processor.

Ingenico will demonstrate the Ingenico On-Guardâ„¢ solution at the National Retail Federation Show in New York City, January 11 and 12th, 2009.
