Jack Henry intros expedited EMV implementation

August 27, 2013

JHA Payment Processing Solutions, a division of Jack Henry & Assoc. Inc., has launched an expedited EMV implementation process for U.S. card issuers. PPS is the first processor to offer this process, which provides a streamlined Visa EMV implementation path for select chip card profiles.

"Everyone's eyes are on EMV right now and it is only a matter of when for U.S. financial institutions that have yet to adopt the cards," said PPS general manager John Postle in a news release. "We are very excited to introduce a plan for EMV deployment that will mean greater efficiency and ease for our clients."

Through the expedited process, PPS can reduce FIs' implementation costs, testing requirements, and overall timeframes. No host-to-host testing is necessary and card validation is optional.

To qualify for the streamlined process, a processor must have successfully completed a prior U.S. chip issuance project with Visa and meet other eligibility requirements.
