Calypso Canada, a leader in the white label Automated Teller Machine (ATM) transaction processing market and a preferred processor for Triton ATMs, announced today that it has been certified by Visa Canada to accept PLUS cards at select white label ATMs across Canada.
Calypso is the first white label ATM processor in Canada to be certified by Visa Canada to offer PLUS acceptance services to the Canadian white label ATM market. Calypso's certification provides its ISO partners with the opportunity to service international PLUS cardholders through its ATM network.
"The ability to service PLUS international cardholders provides meaningful and lasting value to our partners and customers," said Doug Epp, General Manager of Calypso Canada. "We worked very closely with our technology partners, ISO partners and Visa Canada to ensure that we met all of the rigorous security and operating standards that Visa has established."
"The PLUS Operating Regulations require the highest standards of operating performance. Calypso Canada recognized that PLUS acceptance was important to its customers and made the necessary investments to deliver," said Brian Green, Vice President of Marketing for Moneris Solutions.
"Moneris is always excited to work with its customers to enable electronic payments. In the PLUS endeavour, Calypso demonstrated a great deal of technical, operational and customer service expertise."
Moneris Solutions offers innovative gateway solutions to connect non-financial ATM acquirers, like Calypso Canada, and financial institutions to the various payment networks.
With this announcement, Calypso Canada is able to allow international visitors access to funds using their preferred card, their PLUS card, providing a boost to businesses in the tourism, gaming and hospitality industry.
