Acquirers currently require merchants to perform extensive ICC testing before they can commit resources and test host time for accreditation testing. To help clients with this, The Logic Group offers a sophisticated package of professional services to ease you through the pre-accreditation process. Your developed system will be taken into our test laboratory and your system set-up and configuration reviewed. Working in partnership with you and the acquiring bank the test processes will then be completed and the results presented. A pre-determined range of test cards from Visa, MasterCard, other card schemes and your acquirers will be used to complete the tests, using specialist tools to monitor and interpret the results.
The Logic Group has joined in partnership with TUV Product Services Limited to offer this testing service. TUV are the UK’s only MasterCard laboratory, so bring a wealth of experience and knowledge as well as having direct contact with MasterCard. Together, the companies provide a unique set of skills and experience in Chip & PIN testing.
Pre-requisite testing aims to smooth the development of new Chip & PIN systems by ensuring that merchant/integrators are able to check their systems thoroughly at the completion of the development process. Experience from the UK town trial in Northampton shows that many merchant/integrator development projects significantly overran because they had to make changes resulting from multiple failures in the bank accreditation process. This proved costly for the merchant/integrator.
One of the reasons for the failures was because the technicians building the systems did not have the necessary experience required to complete in house tests, nor did they have access to all the test cases, cards and tools employed by the acquirers and card schemes. The professional services package offered by The Logic Group meets this requirement, saving you both time and money. You will also be obtaining an inside track to the top experts within the banks and card associations. This pre-requisite test service is likely to reduce your project times by many weeks, take away much of the stress and frustration experienced in the current process, and save you several thousands of pounds.
