Minsait Payments joins the Visa Ready- tokenization program to facilitate secure card digitization for mobile and e-commerce payments

• As a certified Visa Ready partner, Minsait's payments subsidiary is helping power tokenization technology with the aim of delivering new and better digital and secure payment experiences. The company is thus expanding its range of payment processing services globally in response to the process of payment digitization caused by COVID-19

Minsait Payments, the payment subsidiary of Minsait, an Indra company, announced today it has joined Visa Ready - Tokenization in effort with Visa to expand the market for tokenization as companies develop new and secure digital payment services. Through collaborating with Visa, Minsait Payments is enabled to offer its customers in all sectors secure card digitization services in mobile payments through digital wallets and in e-commerce transactions.

Tokenization technology makes it possible to replace your card's sensitive information with a unique identification code ("token") in digital transactions. This eliminates the need to disclose card information in transactions and consequently reduces the risk of fraud while providing a better digital payment experience.

Obtaining this certification allows Minsait Payments to expand its range of processing services in response to the process of payment digitization brought about by the pandemic. This acceleration has increased the importance of the card on file in e-commerce and contactless payments in stores using mobile devices through the platforms of the major technology companies (Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay).

"Visa Ready's Token Service Provider certification allows us to expand our range of digital services to help financial institutions and companies initiate the digitization of their cards from a mobile device, e-commerce device or smart watch. This process allows for more secure payments since the actual card data is not used during the transaction," says Miguel Ángel Prieto, Director of Payment Solutions at Minsait Payments.

"As the world experiences an unprecedented shift toward digital commerce over the last year, tokenization is becoming one of the most effective ways to avoid fraud and allow for more secure and easy digital payment experiences, says Belkis Barral," Senior Director Digital Solutions, Visa Latin America and the Caribbean. "This innovative technology is on the rise with increasing adoption by merchants and banks. In fact, today in Latin America and the Caribbean more than 65% of Visa's payment credentials are token ready, and we recently surpassed the 2 billion tokens milestone issued worldwide through Visa Token Service."

The Minsait subsidiary keeps moving forward towards its goal of offering innovative digital payment processing capabilities and solutions. Among its latest initiatives in this area, it has partnered with Cybersource, Visa Ready's payment management platform, to enhance its 3-D Secure 2.0 capabilities globally and help its customers expand their e-commerce transactions and reduce fraud.
