Several government agencies are deploying
Elavon-SI’s certified EMV credit card processing system
Elavon, a leading global payments provider and subsidiary of
U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB), and Systems Innovators (SI), a leading
enterprise revenue management and centralized cashiering provider,
have teamed up with government agencies to deploy a payment system
that helps protect citizens’ information, helps prevent fraud and
provides industry-compliant EMV technology.
Jeff Sumner, executive vice president of System Innovators,
said, “We are focused on delivering the most trusted central
cashiering and revenue management systems for U.S. governments and
utilities. Partnering with Elavon on this certified EMV product
designed specifically for those entities, helps them accept EMV and
chip card payments, while mitigating the risk of credit card
fraud.”
High-profile government data breaches in recent years have
underscored the need for secure government payment processing, with
government agencies seeking ways to offer citizens a one-stop-shop
with both data protection and flexibility in payment acceptance
options.
Government agencies now using the Elavon-SI system include the
cities of Anaheim, California, and St. Louis, Missouri. Newport
News, Virginia, and Hennepin County in Minnesota will migrate to
the Elavon-SI solution in 2017.
“The City of Anaheim is very excited to go live with the
Elavon-SI integrated solution. It will enable the city to accept
and securely process EMV chip credit card transactions while
reducing credit card fraud and security breaches. It’s a win-win
solution for the city and our citizens,” said Suzzette Areyan
Hemingway, treasury administrator for the City of Anaheim.
The Elavon-SI government-focused EMV (Europay, Mastercard and
VISA) chip credit card payment processing system combines SI’s
centralized cashiering and revenue management software, iNovah,
with Elavon’s Simplify® -- an EMV-certified solution that enhances
security by adding point-to-point encryption, also known as P2PE,
and tokenization to isolate sensitive payment card data from the
point-of-sale (POS), where it is most vulnerable.
“Customer confidence is our highest priority when people come to
our office to pay their taxes and utility bills. The Elavon-SI
system offers a convenient and easy way to pay, while ensuring that
their data is secure and protected,” said City of St. Louis
Collector of Revenue Gregory F.X. Daly. “As the Collector of
Revenue, we could not ask for a more seamless cashiering and
revenue management system.”
The system eliminates the need for government employees to enter
credit card payments manually into their revenue management systems
and provides a secure way to authorize payments from a variety of
sources, from chip cards to mobile payments, like Apple Pay and
Samsung Pay.
Ian Drysdale, Elavon executive vice president and head of
business development, said, “It’s more imperative than ever for
government agencies to protect themselves from fraud
vulnerabilities. We’re excited that government entities are now
using Elavon-SI’s system to help keep their citizens’ payment card
data safe and secure.”
