Are you still with us?

For some, the technical jargon may be too much to handle which is why, here at STS, we are proud to release our online demonstration video – “Introducing G8”.

Smart Technology Solutions continues to position our partners at the forefront of new technology with the release of support for VeriFone's new MX870 system. With this support, STS becomes the only systems integrator globally capable of supporting the MX870 with full EMV Level 2 functionality.

The chip and PIN rollout in the UK has seen a delayed take-up from the hospitality industry, primarily due to the specific needs for the acceptance of payments. These needs include the ability to manage both mobile and fixed PIN pad payment devices and bespoke functionality such as allowing users to split bills at the table and accepting different forms of payment, for example, cash, cheque, voucher or card. These factors, combined with a lack of integrated payment solutions for this market, have hindered wide scale deployment of successful solutions in the market.

With the recent finalisation of the chip and PIN migration in the UK, Smart Technology Solutions Limited finds it timely to look at what the future holds for both EMV and smart cards in general in the UK. Will the UK be a prelude to how EMV will be rolled out in other countries and a predictor for future technology globally?

Smart Technology Solutions has strengthened its software offering through the release of the new version of its world's leading EMV Level 2 software, Emvelink.

The benefits of the market-leading advancements in the STS software include:

STS is proud to announce the release of its new EMV Level 2 kernel, Emvelink Mobile. Designed specifically for Windows CE devices, Emvelink Mobile is the world's first EMV Level 2 kernel supporting multiple handheld terminals. Emvelink Mobile has been brought to market in conjunction with partner manufacturers including Canon and Fujitsu, to facilitate the next wave in payment acceptance.

YESpay International Limited has seen continued success with it's EMBOSS bureau service with recent customer acquisitions including Jollyes and Hotel Chocolat. YESpay's EMBOSS, providing a pre-accredited, PCI certified solution, has utilised STS' award-winning Emvelink since 2004. The partnership between YESpay and STS has enabled the success seen by STS, in the tier 1 retailer space, to be replicated in the middle tier space.

Smart Technology Solutions Ltd. (STS) announces that, on behalf of Canon's strategic partner, ECR Retail Systems, it has developed the software to provide chip & PIN functionality for the Canon KT-1 Mobile Point of Sale terminal. Through this work, the Canon KT-1 PoS will be available for use in the UK and Ireland for the first time as a fully bank-accredited chip & PIN enabled Hand Held Terminal.

Smart Technology Solutions Ltd. (STS) announces that it has provided Capita Software Services' range of managed services with a flexible, easily integrated platform to cater for emerging and future smart card and payment applications.
