Merchant Warehouse, pcAmerica Partner to Offer Secure POS Systems
Merchant Warehouse, a provider of merchant accounts and credit card processing solutions, today announces a partnership with pcAmerica, a point-of-sale (POS) system provider for the retail and restaurant industries. The first effort of the partnership is the integration of Merchant Warehouse's MerchantWARE solution with pcAmerica's Cash Register Express and Restaurant Express POS systems. This joint offering will significantly reduce the possibility of cardholder data loss, in the event of a network security breach.
The MerchantWARE solution contains two core components, the first being a secure card reader that instantly encrypts card data at the point-of-swipe to ensure sensitive data is never exposed while transmitted throughout private and public networks. The second component is the MerchantWARE Payment Gateway, which enables merchants to process credit cards, debit, and EBT cards, manage their account over a secure Internet connection and store transaction information at the MerchantWARE host. Additionally, the software provides extensive reporting features with the capability to re-charge, refund or adjust previously processed cards, all without decrypting confidential cardholder data.
