Compass Plus, an international provider of retail banking and electronic payments software to processors and financial institutions, has been officially added to the National Card Payment System (NSPC) list of approved ACS / 3DS Server vendors that provide authentication software for MirAccept 2.0.

MirAccept 2.0, a secure e-commerce platform, was launched by the NSPC in August 2017. It is built based on the latest 3D Secure 2.0.1 standard from the EMVCo consortium, but without dependence on the patents of these international payment systems.

Compass Plus was amongst the first vendors to achieve acquiring and issuing certification for the new payment system from the NSPC and is now one of the first for MirAccept 2.0. Center-invest Bank, Moscow Industrial Bank and a number of additional Compass Plus customers are currently preparing to launch pilot projects using this new platform.

“Participation in this project is an opportunity for Compass Plus to be among the first to support the newest standards in e-commerce, to develop our existing systems and implement new products and services,” said Alexei Parshin, Chief Payments Technology Officer at Compass Plus.

“In the development and implementation of remote banking channels, the challenge lies in prioritising information security while ensuring ease and convenience in using electronic payment methods,” said Yuri Bogdanov, Director for Innovation at Center-invest Bank. “The sophisticated development of MirAccept 2.0 is a unique combination of increased payment security with a reduced test load on the customer. Participating in the pilot launch of such technology is a great honour for us, and we are grateful to Compass Plus for supporting its implementation.”
