CreditCall Introduces Contactless Kernel to Its EMV Product Range Supporting NFC and Wave and Pay



BRISTOL, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CreditCall has added Contactless.LIB, a full contactless payment capability, to its EMV Level 2 range of software Kernels. Terminal manufacturers and payment software developers can now quickly and easily integrate Contactless Kernel technology into their solutions to mitigate against the high cost of development and maintenance.

The fully featured Contactless Kernel enables acceptance of Visa contactless and MasterCard PayPass enabled cards in retail and unattended environments. It meets all current Visa, MasterCard and EMVCo standards and allows support for additional contactless card schemes such as NFC (near field communication). Contactless.LIB supports MasterCard’s PayPass M/Chip and M/Stripe in addition to Visa’s qVSDC and MSD functionality.
The first deployment of Contactless.LIB is likely to be in the transportation ticketing sector, where there are a number of developers working on adding Contactless capability to existing ITSO ticketing equipment and terminals.
CreditCall’s CTO Jeremy Gumbley stated “We want to ensure Contactless payment can be used more widely. The development of an independent Contactless Kernel will contribute towards an increased deployment of this technology as it provides manufacturers and payment software developers more freedom in choosing the best solution for their products. The development of a Contactless Kernel further enhances our EMV Kernel product line and demonstrates CreditCall’s technology leadership in the area.”
