NCR Counterpoint Version 8.4.6.17 is the general release of EMV capability for retailers who use Worldpay/NCR Merchant Services, TSYS, and FDMS North for processing. When used along with NCR Secure Pay’s tokenization and point-to-point encryption capabilities, retailers are able to provide a very high level of payment security, protecting both shoppers and the retailer.

“EMV is a complicated process, requiring sophisticated cooperation and technology that must work together in a matter of seconds to securely identify and confirm the authenticity of a card and the cardholder’s good credit,” said Barry Moomaw, director, NCR Retail. “At NCR, we are committed to helping our partners, merchants, and our merchant’s customers successfully navigate the change to EMV.”

By taking advantage of NCR Counterpoint and NCR Secure Pay’s EMV capabilities, retailers can further protect shoppers against fraudulent card usage. Additionally, they can combine the security of EMV with NCR Secure Pay’s point-to-point encryption and tokenization capabilities, providing a very high level of payment security for both shoppers and retailers.
