Zühlke for card systems

Electronic payment systems are going through significant upheaval. With the introduction of EMV Smart Cards and the new ep2 eft/pos standard, all payment terminals in Switzerland have to be replaced. New market participants are trying to take market share from established players by using aggressive pricing and offering new services.

In this turbulent environment, Zühlke created the Swiss EMV standard ep2, in cooperation with the acquirers Telekurs, PostFinance, Aduno, Swisscard AECS, Diners and JCB. Besides this joint leadership role in the ep2 project, Zühlke is also implementation partner for the ep2 Acquirer Gateways, ep2 terminals, EMV compatible ATMs, and the ep2 test and certification systems. Zühlke is currently the first port of call for technical questions regarding electronic payment, as well as the certification body of ep2 terminals.
