Apriva And OTI Announce Semi-Integrated Solution For Unattended Markets

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. and ROSH PINNA, Israel, April 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apriva, a leading provider of omnichannel payment solutions and secure mobile communications, and On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) (NASDAQ:OTIV), a global provider of near field communication (NFC), cashless payment and fuel management solutions, announced today a partnership to bring a new end-to-end EMV solution to markets supporting unattended payments. 

This pre-certified payment solution immediately supports magnetic stripe reader (MSR) transactions, and will soon be EMV certified on various processors through Apriva. As a semi-integrated solution, the OTI TRIO reader is securely interfaced with the Apriva gateway, which means a quick integration process for unattended systems. Security includes real-time data encryption, using the industry standard DUKPT (derived unique key per transaction) encryption method, with no cardholder or card data stored. 

“Apriva is an excellent fit for our cashless payment solutions, as they offer a world-class gateway with multiple secure options,” said Larry Susman, vice president of global sales at OTI. “Our cost-effective hardware and software solution pairs strongly with Apriva’s secure payment capabilities, and we are pleased to bring an unattended solution to market built upon our combined technologies, experience and success.” 

For over two decades, OTI has provided enterprises worldwide with cashless payment options including NFC products and solutions. OTI's TRIO is a modular payment device that can support up to three cashless payment interfaces in one enclosure. The TRIO is specifically designed for installation in unattended environments such as kiosks and vending machines to enable cashless payment with magnetic payment cards, as well as mobile (Apple Pay®, Android PayTM, Samsung Pay®), EMV chip and contactless payment cards. 

“Our partnership with OTI embodies Apriva’s commitment to unattended payment markets,” said Stacey Finley Tappin, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Apriva. “As unattended payment options expand in the years ahead, OTI’s success with hundreds of thousands of readers in the field worldwide aligns tightly with Apriva’s vision for supporting those payments—securely and flexibly, today and into the future.” 

Apriva’s payment gateway offers state of the art security with end-to-end encryption, tokenization and EMV capabilities while connecting a variety of payment devices to over 30 processors accepting all major debit and credit cards, in addition to campus cards in both the U.S. and Canada. Apriva currently works with more than 1,100 merchant acquirers and independent sales organizations (ISOs) across North America, giving merchants and partners the choice to deploy end-to-end solutions that best fit their businesses.
