TNS AND ID TECH EASE EMV UPGRADE PATH WITH NEW PARTNERSHIP
April 2, 2015, Reston, VA - Transaction Network Services (TNS) and ID TECH are helping to
simplify the path to EMV for card readers by entering into a partnership which will allow ID
TECH hardware to be more readily certified into the marketplace.
With this partnership, TNS will provide access to its extensive global payments community
which boasts more than 400 endpoints, including the major credit card schemes, banks,
acquirers and processors. TNS will deliver essential connectivity to the multiple acquirers
across the globe with managed services around network monitoring, SIM management, and
deployment.
ID TECH is a world leader in EMV solutions – both contact and contactless – and this
partnership with TNS enables customers to make the transition from magnetic stripe cards to
smart cards in a quick and painless manner.
Stanley Ning, President and CEO of ID TECH, said: “With the EMV liability shift in the US
almost upon us, and the rapidly expanding use of contactless and NFC payment technologies,
ID TECH is committed to providing our current and future customers a reliable and secure path
to EMV capability and compliance. This partnership with TNS will enable us to accelerate
deployments of EMV solutions both domestically and internationally. The combination of ID
TECH’s hardware and TNS managed services will provide these customers with a seamless
EMV transition.
“Our innovative products have always been clearly targeted at satisfying our customers’ needs
and changing requirements, and this strategic cooperation with TNS will allow us to significantly
shorten the time frame required for our customers to adapt their individual payment systems to
accommodate the changes related to the shift to EMV.”

Lisa Shipley, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of TNS’ Payment Network
Solutions, said: “The payments landscape is dynamic and evolving and we have seen a lot of
evidence of this at this week’s TRANSACT 15 conference, including the scaling of the Intel®
Data Protection Technologies for Transactions SW security product. This solution is paired with
Intel CPUs in the Point of Sale (POS) device whether it be mobile, traditional fixed POS or new
form factors to be invented as retail moves to the Internet of Things. Our new relationship with
ID TECH accelerates the work Intel is doing, as well as other new market players who are
striving to bring enhanced technology to market to help in the fight against fraud.
“TNS is unique in the market place. We provide a single point of entry into the majority of all the
acquirers, VARs, card schemes, etc. across the globe. Our current customers leverage this
capability and eliminate the multiple connections into their data centers by connecting once to
TNS. New entrants, including hardware manufacturers, can certify once to TNS and have the
benefit of the 400 plus connections we maintain across the globe. By using TNS as a one-stop
shop for their payments needs, our customers are also able to streamline and simplify their
payments, securing access to the global marketplace, rather than restricting themselves to local
connections or a complicated home grown network.”
Michelle Tinsley, Director of Mobility and Secure Payment at Intel Corporation, said: “Our new
payment solution will enhance fraud defences and can be easily incorporated by ID TECH and
other POS manufacturers. The path to EMV compliance poses many issues for the industry so
it’s encouraging to see TNS and ID TECH working together to help acquirers and merchants
fast track this process.”
With a strong payments heritage and more than 20 years of expertise, TNS now provides
services in more than 60 countries across Europe, the Americas and the Asia Pacific region. For
