How the Chip & PIN Solution Works

payleven has developed a mobile Chip & PIN solution that enables anyone to take card payments. Based on a “plug & pay” principle, payleven merchants can offer their clients Chip&PIN debit – and credit card payments via their smartphone or tablet devices – offering a mobile, cost-effective and secure alternative to traditional card payment terminals. They believe in offering a smarter way for everyone, from individuals to businesses of all sizes, to get paid anytime and anywhere – easily, affordably & securely.

Retail Partnerships and Market Reach

The payleven solution is the only Chip & PIN solution to be sold in Apple stores across Europe and the company has recently signed a deal with MICROS, the leading provider of technology for the retail and hospitality industries, to provide businesses with the world’s first cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) solution with integrated Chip & PIN card payment technology.
