WESTPAY: New certification according to the highest PCI security standard, strengthens position within the payment industry


Westpay AB has received PCI Attestation of Compliance for reaching compliance with the Payment Card Industry Personal Identification Number (PCI PIN) Security Requirements. Westpay will be able to further expand its business scope related to payment services and to develop totally new payment concepts based on Android and iOS driven consumer devices.

PCI PIN is the third major certification obtained by Westpay, after already being certified for PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and PCI Payment Application Data Security Standard (PCI PA-DSS). This new certification permits Westpay to move into new areas such as managing card payment applications on Android and iOS driven consumer devices.

Many of Westpay’s resellers and their customers will also benefit from reduced PCI scope and associated costs. Being PCI PIN approved makes Westpay even more independent from card acquiring banks, and will make integrations to new acquirers and processors all over the world both quicker and easier.

PCI PIN is a warrant for the highest level of security on protection of the PIN (Personal Identification Number) from the POI (Point Of Interaction, e.g. the payment terminal) to the point where the information is handed over to the card issuing bank. The certification covers all components from secure key management and injection of cryptographical keys in the Westpay Key Injection Facility to the processing of sensitive data in our PCI DSS certified data centers.
