Payment processing is the lifeblood of all financial service providers and merchants. Ensuring the security of consumer data is essential to the integrity of intra-bank network payments, ACH transfers, check clearing, mobile payments, and credit card transactions. Regardless of the processing method, payments and transfers must be handled securely and quickly—especially when transactions are of high monetary value.

Banks and card issuers have always struggled to find a secure and cost effective way to deliver PINs. Paper-based mailers are slow and easy to intercept by fraudsters, and voiced-based systems cannot be effectively secured. With payment HSM, PINs can be delivered digitally via a secure end-to-end encrypted tunnel between the cardholder and the card issuer.

Payment HSM and management tools provide flexible, efficient transaction security for retail payment processing environments, internet payment applications, and web-based PIN delivery. Ensuring the security of consumer data is essential to the integrity of intra-bank network payments, ACH transfers, check clearing, mobile payments, and credit card transactions. In addition to meeting today’s government and industry regulations and standards, payment HSM solutions are designed to anticipate tomorrow’s.
