In a world where sovereignty in electronics payment becomes the utmost priority of central banks, there is a need for an open, interoperable, global and standardized kernel: PURE is the first of its kind white-label, EMV-compliant kernel answering such needs.
Born in 2011, the PURE technology has been designed to securely and efficiently accept all kinds of contactless transactions, with physical cards, wearables and mobile wallets (OEM wallets or independent wallets) on all types of acceptance devices, whether POS, mPOS, SoftPOS, ATMs, vending machines, transit gates and validators.
Designed and specified by Thales, independently from international card schemes’ technologies and leveraging EMV standards, PURE kernel allows you to address multiple geographies and market segments.
