Apriva Completes the Most Extensive U.S. EMV Certification with Miura Bluetooth Readers to Global Payments


Apriva, the leading provider of secure end-to-end wireless transaction processing solutions, and Miura Systems, the market leading U.K.-based mPOS platform provider, announced today that they have completed EMV certification to Global Payments for Apriva's AprivaPay™ Plus application with the Miura's M010 Bluetooth capable mobile card reader. This certification builds on the existing partnership with Miura, announced last year, which integrated AprivaPay Plus with Miura card readers. This comprehensive certification spans EMV transactions across both contact and contactless payments, including PIN debit transactions, as well as Online and Offline PIN.

Supporting 12 transaction types, this is one of the most extensive EMV certifications to date in the U.S. This all-inclusive certification includes every major card brand: Visa, MasterCard (News - Alert), American Express and Discover, enabling the use of EMV chip card technology for both PIN debit and credit transactions with the Miura M010 card reader. Additionally, the certification covers MSR transactions and compatibility for Apple Pay®, Android Pay™ and Samsung (News - Alert) Pay.

"Payments are becoming more uniform and ubiquitous globally, spurring the need for a frictionless solution that functions across all regions for all payment types," said Stacey Finley Tappin, SVP, Sales and Marketing Communications at Apriva. "By partnering with Global Payments and Miura, we position Apriva to expand along with the booming global payments market, while delivering safety, security, the latest technology and an extensive selection in payments to our partners."



Miura's M010 reader creates a seamless retail experience, transitioning from counter-top to mobile with ease. The platform connects to a tablet cash register and POS system, unclipping to function free of wires. This EMV enabled system is the most versatile on the market, offering expansive payment options for both merchants and their customers.

"We are pleased to partner with Apriva and Global Payments to deliver payments mobility and the enhanced security of EMV and NFC transactions," said Simon Stokes, Chief Commercial Officer at Miura Systems. "The decision to utilize the Miura M010 in effect future-proofs merchants who choose this solution for years to come."
