FIME is pleased to announce that its Global test tool has achieved AMEX Enabled accreditation* for cloud-based payment mobile application testing. This news expands FIME’s extensive portfolio of laboratory services and test tools for AMEX issuers and payment solution providers.

FIME’s Global tool is now available to mobile payment solution providers and payment issuers for use during the development phase of an ExpressPay host card emulation (HCE) application. This enables them to validate that an application is performing in line with AMEX’s Specifications prior to official certification. The tool is also used by FIME in its role as an accredited AMEX testing laboratory.

“FIME has a long history with AMEX and we’re excited to be the first tool available to test ExpressPay HCE apps. Our labs and tools are already approved to test AMEX secure element-based implementations, cards and terminals. This makes us the only comprehensive partner for AMEX application developers and banks. These tools and services, combined with our consultancy offering, accelerate product time to market by enabling the efficient design, development and launch of mobile payments products and services,” comments Christian Raccuglia, Product and Services Marketing Manager – Mobile Payments, at FIME.
