PayEx supports Nordic merchants with one common payment solution

An increasing number of retail chains and merchants operate today outside of their domestic market, and sees the Nordic region as one single market. As a consequence, the retailers seek common technological platforms cross national borders. PayEx entered an agreement with Reitan Servicehandel for delivery of payments systems to the new petrol and service station brand Shell/7-Eleven in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.

PayEx has now rolled out its Nordic payment solution to all the stations in Norway and Denmark, and Sweden will be finished this summer. The solution consists of an integrated Sagem Flexi PIN-pad terminal in-store and an outdoor payment terminal from Dresser Wayne, and accepts all the major international credit cards, domestic debit cards and various petrol and bonus cards that Shell/7-Eleven has decided to accept.

Security and accountability is important, so the solution is fully compliant with the PCI standards PCI PED, PCI DSS and PCI PA DSS (Payment Application). The solution is also certified against the EMV standard and accepts cards with chip or magnetic stripe. The customer is treated the same in all the stores and the merchant can use the same profile regardless of geographic location, combined with support for national rules and legislations.

PayEx also enrolls their Nordic solution through an increasing amount of Nordic ECR-vendors. The retailers are depending on stabile, user-friendly, accurate and secure systems to do business and until now it has not been so easy to choose a single system working perfect in all the Nordic countries. "The retail chains that use PayEx will now get access to a common Nordic payment solution with accompanying services for collection of card transactions, support and installation," says Business Development Manager Anders Gran in PayEx.
