Felix is proud to announce our achievement of EMV Level 3 (L3) certification with Fiserv, one of the largest payment acquirers in North America. This certification marks a significant milestone, making Felix’s SoftPOS services available to Fiserv’s expansive network of merchants in North America, as well as Fiserv’s established footprint of ISVs, ISOs and Payment Facilitators, all of which now stand to benefit from Felix’s latest certification.

The surge in contactless

The US is experiencing unprecedented growth in contactless payments, with Mastercard noting an over 100% year-over-year increase in both transaction counts and spending.* This has been driven by a convergence of factors including overall increase in contactless card issuance, adoption of mobile wallets and mass open loop transportation. This is coupled with a demand by consumers and merchants for fast contactless and self-service payments at retail point of sale check out environments.
