Banksoft initiates EMV acquiring at ATMs in Turkey

Istanbul, 23 May 2005 – Banksoft, a leading provider of card-based payment solutions, announced today that one of its customers, HSBC, completed successfully all three certifications from MasterCard, Visa and BKM (Turkish National Switch) for EMV acquiring at ATMs. HSBC is the first bank in Turkey to start offering this service.

The service fully utilizes the capabilities of EMV-based credit/debit cards in aspects of security, by enabling both issuer and card authentication. Issuers will also be able to send scripts to EMV cards through ATMs.

The EMV acquiring capability was achieved within three months and passed the three institutions’ certification tests. “Our customers need new functionality to meet market needs and create new revenue streams. As we were the first in Europe to certify EMV issuing by both MasterCard and Visa, we built on our expertise in chip cards to lead on the EMV ATM acquiring as well” said Beyhan Biçken, vice president at Banksoft.
