Ingenico Group Offers New Payment Solutions with Support
for EMV Tip Adjust and Common AID
Ingenico Group’s smart terminals receive Class B+ certification with First Data’s Omaha Platform
Atlanta, GA – July 13, 2016 – First Data (NYSE: FDC), a global leader in commerce-enabling technology and
solutions, and Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346 - ING), the global leader in seamless payment, today
announced that First Data is now offering a new payment acceptance solution leveraging Ingenico Group’s smart
terminals that supports EMV tip adjust and Common AID. First Data has Class B+ certified this new solution on its
Omaha Platform.
First Data’s Omaha application will run on select versions of Ingenico Group’s smart terminals, including the iCT,
iWL and iPP product lines. The combined First Data and Ingenico Group offering enables independent sales
organizations (ISOs), agents and integrated software vendors (ISVs) to offer merchants an easy-to-implement,
secure payments solution that accepts magstripe, EMV and NFC contactless payments, while providing support
for EMV tip adjust and Common AID.
With EMV tip adjust, restaurants are able to continue to settle credit card payments the same way they would with
magstripe cards – by adding the tip after the initial card authorization. This is becoming increasingly important for
merchants who have not yet switched to Pay-at-the-Table solutions to accept EMV chip cards, where the
customer would enter the tip directly into the terminal. Additionally, by providing support for Common AID,
merchants are now able to accept EMV debit transactions. Without Common AID, EMV debit transactions
process as signature-based transactions, which can significantly impact interchange costs.
“EMV tip adjust and Common AID are critical features for restaurants and other merchants, as they’re providing
customers with the ability to pay any way they choose without needing to disrupt existing business processes,”
said Bernie Frey, senior vice president of Indirect Sales, US, at Ingenico Group. “Our semi-integrated payments
solutions that are pre-certified to First Data’s Omaha Platform enables ISOs, agents and ISVs to quickly offer
EMV-enabled and PCI compliant payment solutions while still providing their customers the best payment
experience.”
