Elavon Certifies Hypercom’s SPOS32 EMV on Optimum Payment Systems for Canada

Hypercom Corporation (NYSE: HYC) announced today that Elavon has Class-B certified Hypercom’s SPOS32 EMV and PA-DSS approved payment software on the PTS approved Optimum T4200 and M4200 mobile product family. Elavon is one of the first leading payment acquirers in Canada to certify SPOS32. With this certification, Elavon can process credit card transactions originating from these devices in Canada, effective immediately.

"We are focused on delivering sensible, state-of-the-art EMV payment systems to the Canadian market, and we are doing just that with products that futureproof the retail experience and lower the total cost of ownership,” said Cory Taylor, general manager of Elavon’s Canadian region.

"With Elavon, we are bringing high speed, high performance payment terminals to Canadian retailers who demand nothing less than the very best products and services,” said Brent Smith, Country Manager, Hypercom Canada. "Achieving this certification allows us to continue to reinforce our increasingly considerable footprint in this important market.”

Hypercom’s high security PTS approved and Interac certified Optimum T4200 and M4200 product family for North America consists of six powerful 32-bit multi-application systems that share the same platform, user interface, and software toolkit to maximize efficiency, application portability, and offer customers a broad range of options to serve any market need.

Each Optimum payment system incorporates Hypercom’s full X509 PKI (public key infrastructure) HyperSafe® Secure security layer to protect the system and applications from hacking and malware attacks. Protecting the operational procedures and maintenance of payment terminals is just as important as protecting cardholder data. Hypercom’s HyperSafe suite of security products defends terminals from rogue applications and malware, protects the terminal management system from communicating with fraudulent terminals and provides the industry’s only remote key management system. The key benefit for banks, processors and large retailers: protects their investment in the point of sale estate; reduces the potential for fraudulent use of terminals; and ensures the secure transport of cryptographic keys.
