On 26th of March 2021, eService was the first acquirer in Poland to obtain a certificate for its Point to Point Encryption (P2PE) solution. The certificate issued by an independent auditor was a confirmation of the effective implementation of the highest global level of security of the services provided. Continuing to work on the development of the highest quality payment solutions, in September 2024, eService obtained recertification confirming compliance with the latest version of the standard - P2PE v 3.1 and expanded its scope with new devices and the PAX application.
As a result of the obtained certification, eService is the leader of P2PE in Poland and one of its largest suppliers in Europe.
The P2PE solution is designed for the acceptance channel of payment transactions carried out with POS terminals and cryptographically protects account data from the point where the merchant accepts payment by payment card (terminal / PIN pad / merchant cash register system) to a secure decryption point (eService authorization host). With the P2PE solution, account data (cardholder data and confidential credentials) are unreadable until they reach the secure decryption environment at the disposal of eService.
The use of certified P2PE solutions (including for Forcom and UPOS POS systems) means that customers using eService payment services can achieve measurable savings related to lower costs of ensuring the highest level of transaction security and maintaining compliance with the PCI DSS standard.
