October 2, 2005

TOKYO - JCB announced in a Sept. 30 news release that it has joined MasterCard International and Visa International's efforts to align PIN entry device security requirements and approval procedures.

MasterCard and Visa previously agreed to support common standards, which went into effect October 2004.

PED manufacturers submitting devices for security testing may rely on a single set of standards, helping ensure cardholder security and providing faster time-to-market for financial institutions.
