When it comes to payment transactions, security is one of the most important issues. Banks and financial institutions may suffer considerable financial losses in cases of fraud. Which is why they need reliable and flexible protection solutions which integrate into their payment systems. Working in close collaboration with major international banking networks, financial institutions and strategic partners, Bull has designed CRYPT2Pay™ a range of Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) that meet the needs of today’s highly sensitive market.
A technology used by 95% of French and major European banks for their transactions.
CRYPT2Pay™ is a high-performance encryption device designed to protect withdrawal and payment transactions, carried out with a bank or private card (in contact or contactless situations), as well as all operations carried out in bank card processing centres (production and printing of PIN code mailers, data preparation for card personalization and transaction switching between different networks).
The CRYPT2Pay™ product range uses the latest cryptographic technology. It adapts to different uses with a high level of reliability. With CRYPT2Pay™, financial institutions can download the applications they need.
Already chosen by several major European banks, CRYPT2Pay™ provides the essential security needed for payment transactions.
The CRYPT2Pay™ product range provides the following applications:
- Transaction acquisition
