13. MARKET CHALLENGES
Keep my daily business running while securing transactions
13
Contactless Adoption
Improving the perception:
63% of cardholders don’t trust
that contactless is secure
It’s both secure & improves
the cardholder experience
PCI Compliance
Keeping pace with
evolving Payment
Standard
Security as a Differentiator
Can security be more than just
a cost of doing business
87% of Cardholders consider
security a top attribute
Protecting Cardholder Data

Merchants protect their
Payment and Personal Data
71% will stop shopping at a
merchant if identity is stolen
14. PCI PTS V3 EXPIRATION
14
What does it mean to advance your merchants to a PCI 5x Device?
PCI PTS v3 Approved Devices Expire 30 Apr 2020
• They DO NOT have to be pulled out of service.
• Not possible to update the product with new features.*

What is P2PE?
16. WHY MERCHANTS NEED P2PE
16
Every Merchant Needs P2PE!
All transmitted cardholder data must be handled in compliance
with PCI, and P2PE helps by:
• Eliminating the ability for merchants to decrypt cardholder
data flowing through their networks
• Greatly reducing the scope & cost of Merchant Compliance
• Protects the Merchant and their Customers
How P2PE Differs Between Integrated vs Semi-Integrated
• Integrated: card data travels through all elements of the
payment environment before reaching the gateway.
P2PE eliminates risks of exposing cardholder in the Merchant
Environment
• Semi-Integrated: card data is separated from the merchant
environment.
P2PE protects data during transmission to the gateway &
eliminates the need for PA-DSS validation of payment apps
17. 3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT P2PE V3.0
17
No major changes to the technical requirements
ISO Opportunity for new P2PE Component Offerings as
part of Encryption Management Services:
POI Deployment & POI Management
Don’t Wait!
P2PE v2.0 and v3.0 both be valid assessment options
for 18 months
18. WAVING IN CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS
Contactless is both secure and improves the speed of transactions
18
Mobile Shutdown
Today’s Banking Apps
make it easy to disable
lost/stolen cards.
Perception
Contactless isn’t trusted by
US consumers
Cardholder Data More Secure
Contactless EMV Cards use
dynamic data
Mobile Contactless uses
payment tokens unique to
each phone
ePickpocketing Not Easy
Card read proximities are
1.5 inches (4 cm)
Reader must be in contact
with the Card 2-5 seconds

25. KEY TAKEAWAYS
25
✓ Merchant Discounting: Merchants may offer a discount for alternative payment method but the list price must be reduced at the time a
card is presented or show alongside the higher list price before the purchase is made
✓ PCI PTS v3: After April 30, 2020, devices do NOT have to be pulled; however, merchants won’t have access to the latest features that
enhance the customer experience, such as loyalty and contactless and merchants won’t have access to business tools such as estate
mangement.
✓ Android + Smart Terminals: It’s best to understand the use-case and what solution fits best with the customer and merchant needs.
There are different form factors and features → all must be considered for a perfect balance.
