Fime is ready for key EMV® Contactless Interface 3.0 migration.

April 01, 2019

Fime is ready for key EMV® Contactless Interface 3.0 migration.

Fime announced that its testing laboratories have been accredited by EMVCo for EMV®* Contactless Interface v3.0. Card, terminal, smartphone and wearable manufacturers can now align with EMVCo’s updated EMV Level 1 Specification. The enhanced specification addresses the latest interoperability and communication needs of EMV acceptance devices and contactless payment form factors.

Vendor’s migration efforts are set to commence from April 2019. Fime’s gap analysis, tools and lab certification services are helping manufacturers to efficiently and successfully design, develop, deploy and validate their products.   

Payment form factors are evolving and diversifying . This is great for consumers but can present interoperability challenges, particularly for terminal manufacturers as they cannot afford for retailers to experience false declines in-store. To continue driving adoption, products and services must work seamlessly and these latest specifications bring the Level 1 specifications up to speed with innovation to reduce interoperability issues in the field.
