What Is End-to-End Encryption?

As long as your business accepts credit cards and debit cards, there will be the risk of data theft. That’s why all merchants must make data security a top priority in order to protect their business and their customers. Putting the proper security measures in place can significantly reduce the risk of compromised data.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is an advanced risk tool that helps protect the sensitive information contained within a credit card’s magnetic stripe. With E2EE, credit card data is encrypted from the moment the card is swiped, while the data is in transit, all the way to authorization. BluePay offers E2EE among its wide range of secure credit card processing solutions, helping merchants of any size and type cut costs, protect their business and reduce their PCI scope.

E2EE and PCI Compliance

Complying with PCI standards in not just recommended – for merchants accepting credit cards, it’s required. The Payment Card Industry developed and maintains a set of requirements that merchants must meet in order to effectively protect their business and customers from data theft. If data is compromised due to PCI violations, the consequences can include hefty fines, loss of credibility, loss of customers and an ultimate loss of business. Paying the upfront costs of PCI secure payment solutions, such as E2EE, can help save you a great deal in the long term.

Other PCI Compliant Solutions

In addition to E2EE, BluePay offers a full suite of payment processing solutions and advanced risk tools.

• Tokenization is a security feature that helps merchants avoid one of the most common PCI violations – unnecessary stored data – by storing tokens instead of sensitive account information.
• A secure hosted payment form is an e-commerce solution that uses BluePay’s secure servers to host the payment forms, helping merchants reduce liability and protect customer data.
• Address Verification Systems (AVS) prompt cardholders for their address and ZIP code, in order to verify the true cardholder in both card-present and card-not-present transactions.

BluePay combines its complete line of credit card processing products with a PCI secure payment gateway, making the merchant account provider an all-in-one payment processing solution.
