Apriva, Miura Systems partner to deliver mPOS products to US
The integration will certify Miura's M010 hardware to Apriva's AprivaPay Plus mPOS application.
Apriva, a provider of secure end-to-end wireless transaction and information products, and Miura Systems, a U.K.-based mPOS platform provider, this week announced a partnership and product integration, according to a press release. The integration will certify Miura's M010 hardware to Apriva's AprivaPay Plus mPOS application, according to the announcement.
"As chip card acceptance grows, the market will demand more versatile mobile point-of-sale solutions," David Riddiford, president at Apriva, said in a statement. "There is currently a gap in the market for a comprehensive solution that addresses EMV and NFC and other emerging technologies. Partnering with Miura allows us to not only fill that gap but provide the ability to adapt with market needs and provide an all-in-one, future-proof mobile commerce solution to customers."
Integrating AprivaPay Plus mPOS application with the Miura M010 will deliver a comprehensive Bluetooth v4.0 EMV and NFC contactless mobile POS card reader to merchants, according to the announcement. Miura's chip-and-PIN capabilities will provide merchants with the ability to accept both chip-and-signature and chip-and-PIN. AprivaPay Plus also comes with a merchant portal that enables merchants to track and manage inventory, run and export sales and tax reports, create users, and open customer support tickets while on the go.
"As we've seen the U.S. market expand in mobile payments and chip card acceptance begin to take off, we saw a great opportunity to bring the EMV, contactless and NFC technologies we've tested and proven in over 35 global markets to the U.S." said Mark Roberts, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Miura Systems. "With their vast connections and highly respected products, Apriva provided us with the ideal partner to bring our chip-and-PIN ready peripherals to customers in the U.S."
