EMV Solutions

To increase electronic payments security, many countries are migrating from traditional magnetic stripe credit and debit cards to EMV chip-based cards. Chip-based cards provide an added level of security and fraud prevention by storing cardholder information on an embedded computer chip instead of the magnetic stripe. Converting to EMV chip cards requires significant changes to financial institution host platforms—changes that need to be thoroughly tested to avoid costly errors in production.

Paragon offers a complete suite of proven products to conduct thorough EMV testing. Simulate an EMV-enabled ATM with Paragon’s ATMulator Plus™ so you can start EMV testing before upgrading your ATMs to EMV. Use Paragon’s FASTest™ to simulate EMV transactions sent from an ATM or a Point of Sale (POS) device or your host application, through a switch, or a debit or credit card processor—without having to configure a real device or use a real card. Conduct pre-certification testing using FASTest™ to simulate authorizing EMV transactions, without scheduling extra test time with a card issuer.
