Iliad partners with ICC to drive global EMV L3 innovation

October 22, 2024. Iliad Solutions has pooled its testing and certification capabilities with card scheme specialist ICC Solutions to offer a compelling EMV Level 3 testing service for global businesses looking to deliver modern payment experiences.

Organisations that stand to benefit include acquirers, bricks-and-mortar retailers, online merchants, payment processors, banks, test laboratories, software vendors and resellers, and terminal vendors.

The partnership builds on the Iliad / ICC collaboration in the US, where together they support one of the world’s largest merchant acquirers.

ICC’s contribution to the partnership

For nearly 30 years, ICC Solutions has been at the forefront of testing innovation for EMV Level 2 and Level 3, supporting both contact and contactless terminals.

With a broad range of test cards, in addition to testing and certification services, ICC’s tools qualify for Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Discover – covering the entire testing path from initial testing to certification, quality assurance and regression.

Paula Turner, CTO, ICC Solutions comments: “We’ve built a highly user-friendly platform, which even non-EMV experts find easy to operate. When it comes to EMV Level 3 and wider testing this superior technology, combined with Iliad’s own expertise in payments testing, provides even greater options for our combined customer base.”
