ViVOpay 5000 certified globally for PayPass

Date: 15/11/2007

ViVOtech's ViVOpay 5000 contactless payment-enabled POS terminal is now available to participants in new MasterCard PayPass contactless programmes throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Latin America and Canada. The ViVOpay 5000 reader has now received MasterCard's PayPass M/Chip Offline-Only, M/Chip Online-Capable, and Mag-Stripe certifications.

This certification expands the previous global certifications for PayPass Mag-Stripe programme in the United States and the OneSmart MasterCard PayPass and Pre-Authorized programmes in EMV countries, meaning that the terminal can be now used globally to support MasterCard PayPass initiatives.

Additionally, this certification enables ViVOpay 5000 to be used in London, UK, for the national rollout of PayPass. ViVOtech reports that it has already shipped over 320,000 ViVOpay readers to a merchants across 27 countries, and the ViVOpay 5000 has proved to be the company's best selling product in countries where EMV smart cards are currently being adopted.
