EMV Level 2 testing and certifications firm? EMVCo, which is composed of six member organizations (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex, JCB and UnionPay), manages and defines the specifications for each level and ultimately certifies equipment at just levels 1 and 2. To earn level 3 EMV certification, the equipment must pass tests with each individual card brand. If your business needs to use a payment application specific to your industry, level 3 certification gets a lot more complicated.
EMV initially prevented fraudulent “card-present” transactions because the chip card, which encrypts the data and generates a unique transaction code for each purchase, was considered extremely difficult to duplicate. However, in 2018, crooks in Brazil were the first to figure out how to create valid EMV duplicates. See 3-D Secure.
EMV vs. Magnetic Stripe Transactions. Unlike magnetic stripe transactions, where typically only the card’s track 2 data containing the card number and expiry date is processed, every chip card transaction contain dozens of pieces of information to be exchanged between the card, the terminal and the acquiring bank or processors host.
Our aim is to help companies to complete EMV Level 2 and Level 3 contact and contactless certification smoothly and in a short time. We use any test tools that the client selected to test cards, terminals, hosts, and payment networks. We provide payment testing & certification services to assist stakeholders. We help your team to give real-time answers to technical, and non-technical EMV questions and subjects. Find additional details at EMV Level 3 testing and certifications firm.
