August 6, 2007

ATLANTA - Postilion, a division of S1 Corp., has received Visa Payment Application Best Practices validation for its applications used by banks and credit unions.

According to a news release, the validation from Visa USA and Visa Europe ensures that Postilion solutions for ATM driving and merchant acquiring handle cardholder data in a secure manner. Postilion says its solutions will help banks and credit unions comply with payment industry standards such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.

Visa's best practices define applications considered to be the industry standard for data security. Visa designed the program to assist software vendors in developing secure payment applications that minimize security breaches and compromised card details.

"We are very pleased to have received Visa PABP validation of our solutions for financial institutions in addition to those for retailers," said Dean Jordaan, Postilion's senior vice president of global-product strategy. "This validation confirms our ongoing commitment to ensuring the secrecy and integrity of cardholder data."
