What Makes  our Partnership with Bluefin 
Better than the Competition?

BridgePay partnered with Bluefin, the gold standard of PCI validated P2PE, allowing POS integrators to look no further for the complete payments solution:  EMV, data security, and reduction of PCI scope all available through a single integration to PayGuardian!  Read more about our partnership as featured in The Green Sheet.

What makes our partnership with Bluefin a better solution?
  • P2PE online portal assists merchants to manage all their PCI compliance including device attestations and reporting to their QSA
  • Bluefin's security solutions are found in the API calls and not in the physical tethering of devices to stands
  • Remote device deactivation
  • Validation of the device with every transaction processed


IMPORTANT TLS 1.2 INFORMATION

BridgePay is dedicated to maintaining a high level of security and compliance to protect sensitive data. In order to ensure security and compliance, BridgePay will be migrating its systems to use TLS 1.2. BridgePay systems currently support TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2. However, on June 30, 2018, Bridge Pay production systems will no longer support TLSv1 or TLSv1.1.

In order to facilitate testing, BridgePay will migrate all of its test systems to use TLS 1.2 ONLY on April 2, 2018. We strongly recommend testing as soon as possible to ensure any production migrations go smoothly and to prevent transaction interruptions.

Any system that makes an inbound encrypted connection to BridgePay systems can be affected. This includes web browsers, terminals and direct API integrations. Older versions of PayLINK, versions 2.1.253 and older, do not support TLS 1.2. This means that on April 2, 2018, these older versions will not be able to connect to BridgePay test systems. Please upgrade to the latest version of PayLINK (2.1.254) that supports TLS 1.2, which is available to users on our website and Integration Support portal.  Production is not affected at this time.
