NCR Connected Payments is expected to diminish payment card theft and fraud risks for the customers. It offers data and transmission protection from PIN pad to payment processor, resulting in reduced payment data theft and fraud risk.
The flexible cloud solution enables easy compliance with changes in payment regulations and their implementation across all locations from a single centre.
Helzberg Diamonds chief information officer Jeff Rohr said: “We were looking for an electronic payment solution that allowed us to insulate sensitive card data from our enterprise systems, and provided a level of flexibility to implement changes quickly and easily.
“NCR Connected Payments met those requirements and now the complexity of payments is handled by NCR.”
The payment solution features Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) 3.0 and is Europay, MasterCard and Visa (EMV) certified.
It is equipped with point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and tokenisation, as well as offers retailers constant visibility into their payment system via security monitoring and vulnerability management.
The solution also offers access to the new payment methods, flexibility to configure the implementation to specific requirements, and eliminates the necessity of changes to POS and payment infrastructure.
