Bluefin, the integrated payments pioneer in PCI-validated Point-to-Point (P2PE) encryption and tokenization services that protect payments and sensitive data, today announced the completion of Elavon certification for SUNMI Payment Terminal. Bluefin customers using the company’s TECS Platform and processing through Elavon can order the devices right away.

Bluefin’s TECS payment platform provides omnichannel payment solutions to Acquirers, Payment Service Providers, POS system providers, Independent Software Vendors, and other merchant aggregators around the globe, offering a cloud-based Payments Platform-as-a-Service.

As a PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption solution, Bluefin customers achieve the benefits of secure devices, applications, and processes that encrypt credit card data immediately upon swipe or dip in the payment terminal. It can also reduce the PCI DSS compliance burden by more than 90%.

“Completing Elavon certification for Android-based SUNMI Payment Terminal gives us an opportunity to deliver the benefits of point-to-point encryption through more payment devices and to a wider global customer base,” said Tim Barnett, Chief Information Officer of Bluefin. “We focus on seamless payment experiences that keep sensitive data secure, while enabling our customers to grow revenue with omnichannel payment experiences. This certification aligns with that strategy.”
