STAR®

Recently, the Secure Remote Payments Council (SRPc) announced the formation of a PIN debit working group. This group will lead the important work of defining a common standard for chip and PIN acceptance among the PIN debit networks. At the STAR® Network, we are thrilled to participate in this effort, which we see as a critical step forward for the payments industry.

Learn about a new debit payment solution that builds upon current contactless chip technologies and utilizes one-time card number technology to solve the fraud issues that EMV was created to tackle – and without imposing prohibitive conversion costs on FIs and merchants.

As consumers become increasingly concerned about security when they make purchases, fraud is becoming about more than money – it also has the potential to erode consumer trust and loyalty. In this podcast, STAR Director of Product Development Nancy Loomis explains the technology behind STAR CertiFlash, a new PIN-based solution that helps mitigate fraud and increase trust.

The cost of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance is vastly underestimated—but maybe not as understated as the tangible and intangible costs of a data breach. Every merchant that accepts payment cards has a cardholder data environment (known as CDE, or the computer systems and applications that use or store sensitive card data) that comes under the purview of the PCI DSS. It’s possible to limit—and even shrink—the scope of the CDE in order to reduce or minimize the merchant’s PCI burden.
