MYPINPAD, a Licentia Group company, is industry recognised as the global leader in software-based PIN entry on smartphones and tablets, and contactless payments on Android platforms. MYPINPAD’s transformational technology will see point-of-sale terminals and PIN entry mPOS devices replaced by iOS and Android smartphones and tablets running secure payment software. This technology will dramatically reduce cost and complexity throughout the face-to-face payment value-chain, while enabling customers to leverage the data-rich environment of connected smart devices and their vast improvement in user experience.
Colin will also oversee the ongoing expansion of MYHSM, another Licentia company which offers payment Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) as-a-service. As with MYPINPAD, MYHSM removes the need for customers to invest in expensive, single-use hardware to process payments.
