Felix achieves L3 EMV certification with 100% Cloud-based payments acceptance solution

Felix is proud to announce that it has completed an EMV L3 certification for their 100% Cloud-based kernel payment platform with TSYS (Total System Services Inc.), a Global Payments company.  

TSYS is a leading global provider of seamless, secure and innovative solutions to payment card issuers, financial institutions and retail companies, with operations in approximately 80 countries worldwide. 

Felix is a leading technology solutions provider with a specific focus on the payments industry.  Our key differentiator is a 100% cloud-based payments acceptance platform, which creates new possibilities for all payments participants to process transactions in a more convenient, flexible and secure manner. 

 To further validate Felix’s Cloud payments acceptance solutions, following Felix L3 certification with TSYS, we are deploying Felix.Terminal, a Tap to Phone solution, that enables SME merchants to take payments directly from their NFC-enabled smartphone device. This offers a unique opportunity to deploy the first-generation 100% Cloud-powered SoftPOS payment acceptance.

Cloud kernel L3 certified

The L3 certification is the final stage of the EMV certification, where a connection between the payments acceptance device and the acquiring bank systems are rigorously tested to ensure timely, safe and secure end-to-end payments acceptance.  

Felix’s Tap to Phone solution presents significant benefits compared to traditional payment terminals, including but not limited to: 

  • 100% Cloud kernel – accept payments virtually anywhere on your NFC-enabled Android smartphone as long as you have access to the internet or a cellular connection; 
  • Dongle free tap to phone EMV – no external hardware is required to accept digital EMV payments; 
  • Full payment terminal functionality with tips – accept contactless EMV payments, keyed payments, and tips via tap to phone; 
  • Supports any NFC payment type – accept payments from EMV credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), as well as from mobile wallets (Google Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay); 
  • Instant activation for on-demand scaling – instant merchant account activation and rapid payment acceptance enablement; 
  • Card brands certified – Felix.Terminal has officially partnered with Visa and Mastercard and holds the relevant L2 certifications from both payment networks. 

Felix.Terminal is a purpose-built mobile payment acceptance solution that provides the same functionality and security as a traditional terminal with additional benefits of mobility, convenience, rapid scalability, and seamless brand integration.
