Priority Payment Systems to Offer Bluefin’s Flagship P2PE Solution

Priority Payment Systems, an innovator in the electronic payment processing industry, will start offering Bluefin Payment Systems’ PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) solution through a partnership with the Atlanta-based payment technology provider.

Under the partnership, Priority will offer Bluefin’s PayConex P2PE solution through its sales channels, while Bluefin will fulfill, manage and support all P2PE orders.

In March 2014, Bluefin became the first company in North America to be validated by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) for its P2PE Solution, PayConex P2PE. PayConex encrypts all data in a PCI-approved point of entry swipe or keypad device, thus protecting card transactions. Bluefin powered QuickSwipe’s mobile POS offerings with point-to-point encryption and tokenization of payment card details.

Last month, Bluefin launched its Decryption as a Service (DaaS) product, Decryptx, which offers all of PayConex P2PE’s security without changing the merchant’s processing or acquiring relationship.

“PayConex P2PE protects the merchant and the consumer, while preserving reputation and brand,” commented John M. Perry, CEO of Bluefin. “We are very much looking forward to working with Priority and their clients on enhancing the security of their cardholder data.”

“Priority is dedicated to ensuring that our clients have the best options for securing cardholder information, which is why we are excited to offer Bluefin’s P2PE solution to our existing and new customers,” said John V. Priore, President and CEO of Priority Payment Systems.

More consolidation may be on the horizon as payments companies forge partnerships and integrate new and exciting technologies to further improve their own offerings.
