June 16, 2024         By: Melanie Macinas

Pivotal Payments, a provider of technology-driven global payment processing solutions, has completed certification for point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solution for Flexpoint, its integrated payments division.

FlexPoint’s P2PE solution adds the highest level of cardholder data protection available thus further strengthening security at the point of sale.

The P2PE platform works by encrypting cardholder information directly at the point of sale, making it impervious to fraudsters without a special decryption key. The encrypted data is transmitted to a point of secure decryption outside the merchant’s environment.

With Flexpoint, merchants get a POS solution that accepts almost every payment type and protects businesses and clients from card fraud.

Aside from offering robust anti-fraud measures, Flexpoint’s proprietary software lowers the cost and effort needed to meet and maintain compliance by reducing PCI DSS scope for merchants, independent software vendors and value-added resellers.

It also saves time and resources by significantly relieving regulatory and security burdens, and helps businesses increase bandwidth and productivity by cutting back on resources needed for compliance.

“Our P2PE solution presents a compelling value to all stakeholders, beginning with our ISV and VAR partners. We’re making it easier for developers, integrators and dealers to offer a certified solution to their merchant clients,” said Joe Lane, senior vice president of FlexPoint.

“With increasing incidences of payment fraud and data breaches, it’s imperative for businesses to have the best protection available to them, which is why we’re continuing to develop FlexPoint’s hardware, software and middleware platform with security and ease of use in mind.”

FlexPoint’s P2PE platform is now available to ISVs and VARs through its Partner Advantage Program.
