Also Offers The Edge jewelers help with EMV®
transition and PCI compliance
TSYS (NYSE: TSS) today announced that The Edge, the leading
provider of jewelry store management software systems, has named
TSYS Merchant Solutions a preferred provider for payments
processing. The relationship gives The Edge’s more than 3,000
independent retailer jewelers access to TSYS’ advanced payment and
security solutions.
The agreement also offers The Edge jewelers assistance with the
transition to EMV chip card acceptance, and help with achieving PCI
Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) compliance.
“Our relationship with TSYS Merchant Solutions is designed to
help our customers who may need assistance with EMV or PCI or want
to adopt any of the latest mobile wallet payment options in market
today,” said Joe Shapiro, co-founder of The Edge. “TSYS offers our
store customers insights to handle card and other consumer
payments, plus the peace of mind associated with their reliable,
secure processing network.”
In October 2015, liability for fraudulent transactions involving
chip cards shifts from issuers to business owners who have not
upgraded to chip-activated terminals. TSYS Merchant Solutions’
upgrade guidance will ensure that The Edge customers are compliant
so that they minimize their liability after the shift. Adding
point-to-point encryption from the TSYS GuardianSM security
portfolio removes data from the jewelry store owner’s environment,
simplifying PCI compliance scope.
“We are delighted to help protect The Edge customers when
handling consumer payments,” said Tom Boyer, president of TSYS
Merchant Solutions. “With the pace of change in the payments
landscape, we are providing solutions that secure our clients’
operations, help them meet their ever-changing customer demands,
and help them grow and prosper.”
EMV is a registered trademark or trademark of EMVCo LLC in the
United States and other countries.
