COMPRION Joins EMVCo as a Technical Associate to Advance the Interoperability of Mobile Payments

Paying by cell phone is certainly a convenient way of purchasing everyday

commodities; however, it is also a sensitive topic as the users private

banking data are involved. A high degree of reliability of the deployed

technology relying on comprehensive testing is the key success

factor. Without testing, technology problems might lead to a lack of user

acceptance. Therefore, the GSMA TS.27 NFC Handset Test Book demands

that handsets to be used for mobile payment have to run

through the EMVCo test plan.

As an EMVCo Technical Associate, COMPRION seeks to support the

payment standardization process using its expertise in GCF/PTCRB and

NFC Forum conformance testing of cell phones. COMPRION contributes

by providing input and receiving feedback on detailed technical and

operational issues associated with the EMV Specifications. Moreover,

the company has the opportunity to interact with EMVCo's technical

working groups. COMPRION can therefore provide reliable test equipment

to help chipset and handset vendors to exactly meet MNO requirements.

Swantje Missfeldt, Product Manager at COMPRION, comments: We are

delighted to extend our activities within EMVCo. With the rollout of mobile

payment applications, the banking and telecom sectors are merging.

COMPRION has experience in both business areas. With the increasing

variety of cards, mobile phones and payment terminals in the

market, we need to make sure that all components work together. The

base for interoperability is conformity with the standards. The role of

EMVCo and its Type Approval requirements is of prime importance in the

development and implementation of interoperable and secure payment

technologies.
