Bluefin Payment Systems and Pinnacle Corporation Announce Partnership

Bluefin Payment Systems and Pinnacle Corporation or known simply as Pinnacle, is a major player in technology automation solutions for retail convenience stores and fuel inventory management and it has some news.

It recently announced a partnership in which it will provide Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE solution through Pinnacle’s Palm POS platform.

Pinnacle has earned itself a reputation of providing industry leading POS, loyalty, and corporate and consumer facing mobile technology to the retail convenience store and fuel inventory management industries. Pinnacle’s line of products and services are used on a daily basis in thousands of convenience outlets in order to improve their store operations and to expand the brand of retailers through the aggressively expansive mobile space.

“There is a tremendous demand for PCI-validated P2PE solutions in the convenience store and fuel industries,” said Denise Lewis, POS and Payments Product Manager at Pinnacle. “Our clients understand the importance of encryption in securing their customer’s credit and debit card transactions. While EMV protects the card itself from duplication, it does not encrypt the data flowing from the card. Bluefin’s solution devalues card data, while possibly providing significant PCI scope reduction and cost benefits.”

“No industry is immune to data breaches, even those that you would not think of as typical retail establishments, such as fuel management,” said Greg Cornwell, SVP of Security Solutions for Bluefin. “Card data is card data to hackers and that is why technologies such as PCI-validated P2PE are very important to every industry. We applaud Pinnacle for recognizing the benefits of PCI-validated P2PE for their clients and offering our solution through their Palm POS platform.”
