Bluefin and Visa launch unified card-present payment acceptance offering

Bluefin has partnered with Visa to introduce a new card-present payment acceptance offering that integrates Bluefin's PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solution with Visa Acceptance Solutions.

Bluefin said the goal is to provide a "unified approach" to secure in-person payment acceptance for merchants, software providers and enterprise organisations.

It positioned the offering as a single deployment that brings together payment acceptance, security and device operations.

According to the announcement, the collaboration combines payment acceptance, PCI-validated security, tokenisation, device lifecycle management and enterprise payment infrastructure into one solution.

Bluefin is contributing its PCI-validated P2PE solution, secure decryption services, a certified payment application, terminal integration and P2PE Manager. Visa Acceptance Solutions will provide payment processing, tokenisation and global payment services.

The offering has launched with selected certified Ingenico Lane series POS devices.

It is designed for use across retail, hospitality, petroleum, healthcare, higher education and other enterprise environments. The architecture is intended to expand to additional certified device ecosystems over time.

Bluefin founder and chief strategy officer Ruston Miles said: "Enterprise organisations are no longer looking for individual payment technologies – they're looking for infrastructure that enables secure commerce across every channel.

"Our collaboration with Visa Acceptance Solutions reflects a shared vision that secure payment acceptance should be delivered as an integrated platform rather than a collection of independent components. By combining Visa Acceptance Solutions with Bluefin's card-present security infrastructure, we're helping organisations simplify deployment, reduce complexity, and build a stronger foundation for the future of enterprise commerce."

The solution will be available to merchants and software providers through Visa Acceptance Solutions, as well as Visa's global sales and partner channels.
