MineSec announced its compliance with the Visa Ready Tap to Phone Kernel Specification (VRTPKS) for its SoftPOS solution. MineSec SoftPOS Software Development Kit (SDK) fulfilled Visa requirements in functional tests conducted by BV ICTK, a Visa-recognised laboratory. With this certification, payment service providers can now build SoftPOS payment solutions in line with Visa specifications by utilising the MineSec SoftPOS SDK.
From coffee to cabs, consumers increasingly choose mobile payments for goods and services. PwC estimates that cashless transactions will more than double by 2030, from $1,036 billion in 2020 to $3,026 billion in 2030. Tap to Phone is one of the most popular contactless payment methods available. Customers can pay via their mobile devices by tapping their card of mobile wallet. By transforming their payment processes, merchants can attract customers and increase sales as payments shift from cash to digital. Instead of traditional point-of-sale hardware, merchants can set up cashless transactions with SoftPOS solutions on Near-Field Communication (NFC) Android devices.
"By putting MineSec SoftPOS SDK through Visa certification, we make it easy for payment service providers and developers to integrate Tap to Phone functionality without doing the hard work," says Angus Chiu, Chief Commercial Officer of MineSec. "As a result, our customers can leverage MineSec SoftPOS SDK's existing Visa certification and focus instead on building product features."
"Compliance in financial services is evolving as technology transforms the way people send and receive payments. Leveraging our expertise, we help companies such as MineSec build compliant payment solutions with rigorous testing," says Bongjae Jin, Technical Director of BV ICTK. "MineSec SoftPOS SDK demonstrates Visa Ready Tap to Phone Kernel Specification compliance, providing confidence to payment service providers to build SoftPOS payment solutions on the SDK with proven Tap to Phone functionality."
