Canada's move toward EMV is setting the stage for EMV adoption in North America. Over the next five years, sweeping changes are expected in the payments space, with some 100 million integrated chip cards expected to be issued in Canada by 2011. ATMs and POS terminals, as well as the software that supports them, will be upgraded or replaced.
Before the first EMV transaction can be completed, transaction-handling software must be updated, customized, tested, refined and re-tested.
As ATM deployers and merchants consider all the through-points in their systems, it becomes clear that testing is a necessity.
In this white paper, Paragon Application Systems discusses the ins and outs of implementing EMV, from identifying the right testing tool to finding the right vendor.
