Questions acquirers ask

Does PayNRoute hold the acquiring licence?

No. PayNRoute provides the technology and processing platform. The acquiring licence and card scheme memberships are held by our institutional clients, such as banks and licensed payment institutions.

Can it connect to our existing switch and core banking system?

Yes. Integration uses industry standards such as ISO 8583 and ISO 20022 messaging, REST APIs and webhooks, so the platform can sit alongside your existing switch, core and finance systems.

How is card data protected?

Card data is protected through tokenization, HSM-backed key management and P2PE-ready terminal support, within an architecture designed to align with PCI DSS requirements.
