Largest seafood chain in U.S. rolling out Ingenico Group EMV-
and NFC-ready smart terminals at 580+ locations
Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346-ING), the global leader
in seamless payment, announced today that Long John Silver’s, the
largest quick service seafood chain in the U.S., opted to upgrade
its payments infrastructure to Ingenico Group’s EMV- and NFC-ready
payment terminals to support its upcoming transition to the EMV
payment standard in the U.S. The Ingenico Group solution will
enable Long John Silver’s 580+ U.S. locations to accept both
magnetic stripe and EMV cards, and also provides a platform for
mobile wallet acceptance, such as Apple Pay, in the future.
According to Long John Silver’s executives, improved security
and PCI compliance were the main drivers for the change. “As we
prepared for the advent of chip-based cards, we also wanted to
implement a solution with point-to-point encryption (P2PE) to
provide bulletproof security over our customers’ cardholder data,
while also easing the process of meeting increasingly complex PCI
requirements,” said Craig Daniel, chief financial officer for Long
John Silver’s. “During our competitive evaluation, Ingenico proved
to have the most secure technology, the greatest experience with
EMV, and the most flexible solution that allowed us to leverage our
existing infrastructure without having to spend millions of dollars
on network and infrastructure upgrade costs.”
Increasing instances of data breaches in the U.S. are driving
many quick service restaurants (QSRs) to implement a multi-layered
approach of EMV plus P2PE in order to fully protect cardholder
data. This multi-layered approach also enables merchants to limit
the overall cardholder data environment, thus reducing PCI scope.
By leveraging Ingenico Group’s EMV and P2PE solution, Long John
Silver’s will dramatically reduce the costs and effort associated
with complying with PCI DSS.
“Ingenico Group has a great track record in the QSR space, and
of course we offer the deepest expertise in both EMV and P2PE,
gained from our thirty years of experience in delivering secure
payment solutions to thousands of merchants around the world,” said
Thierry Denis, president of Ingenico Group North America. “We’re
looking forward to partnering with the Long John Silver’s team as
they take this important step of preparing for EMV and
strengthening the overall security of their payment
infrastructure.”
