Skipjack Completes TSYS PIN Debit Certification
Cincinnati, Ohio – August 4, 2008: Skipjack Financial Services is pleased to announce its support of PIN Debit transactions. Skipjack completed PIN Debit (Online Debit) certification on the TSYS processing platform in July, 2008.
Skipjack's PIN-based debit solution can be used in any retail environment where the increased security value of PIN code entry is required. This capability expands Skipjack’s retail payment processing capabilities, and adds significant value to retailers.
The solution provides a secure Internet-based alternative to traditional dial-up or dedicated debit solutions. Available as an Internet-accessible card-swipe application or as an integrated point of sale solution, PIN-based debit provides customers with the speed of IP transactions and the security that they demand for their transactions.
Skipjack’s PIN-based debit solution offers features such as automated error correction, “cash back” option, fast processing times, real-time reporting on a per terminal/location basis, automated batch closing, Internet connectivity (eliminating the need for dial-up or dedicated connections), and compatibility with all DUKPT-compliant swipe devices and PIN pads.
Merchants and their customers can realize a variety of benefits with the Skipjack/TSYS PIN debit offering, including increased security, IP transaction speeds, fast reconciliation of customer issues and bank deposits, mission-critical reliability, and the elimination of existing dial-up phone or dedicated lines and multiple terminal fees.
