Ingenico Tetra SI solution combines scalability, security with go-to-market speed

October 24, 2018

Ingenico Group is introducing its enhanced Tetra Semi-integrated solution to enable merchants to scale and adapt to changing market needs driven by growing consumer buying power. 

The semi-integrated offering gives users the security, flexibility and simplicity of a semi-integrated approach with the additional Tetra SI benefits of a pre-certified EMV solution and ability to accommodate more robust, enterprise-level interfaces.

Tetra SI is well-suited to simplify complex workflows such as pay-at-the-table service in restaurants, stadiums, and other venues where fast and secure completion of transactions via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth can be a challenge.

Tetra SI allows merchants to integrate their POS once and know their solution is secure and won't require re-certification for EMV, affording them more time, revenue, choices, and control. 

The capabilities of the new Tetra Semi-Integrated solution include the following:

• Greater ease in managing complex workflows like pay-at-the-table when merchants decouple POS and payment.
• Improved security that eliminates cardholder data from the POS.
• Greater connectivity and flexibility that allows merchants to offer new interactions or experiences with their customer on a payment device
• Simplified compliance that includes streamlined EMV support to reduce certification bottlenecks and reduced PCI audit scope and a precertified, PCI-compliant solution that won't require recertification.

"Customers' expectations of merchants have never been higher," Irfan Nasir, head of product and solutions for Ingenico Group North America, said in the release.

"The buying power in the hands of consumers has driven a need for merchants to be flexible and agile enough to adapt to future payment offerings and innovate on the fly. Our enhanced Tetra Semi-integrated solution helps ISVs and merchants create a payment experience that gives their customers the experience they want when completing a transaction."
