Scheidt & Bachman has integrated the Bluefin PCI P2PE solution based on Decryptix® as an option into its payment processing software platform which allows Scheidt & Bachmann to offer PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solutions directly to their clients.
Scheidt & Bachmann have upgraded more than 3,800 ticket vending machines with P2PE protected payment devices throughout the UK and Ireland for their national rail services. The ticket vending machines are mission-critical infrastructure for the UK and Ireland’s transport network, providing, ticketing services for most of the largest operators including Govia Thameslink Railway, Great Western Railway, Transport for Wales, Nexus, Transport for Greater Manchester, Scotrail and both operators LUAS and Irish Rail in Ireland.
Additional projects with Bluefin are underway for unattended ticket vending across North America. The solution is fully integrated with the Scheidt & Bachmann payment host and seamlessly reaches multiple acquirers in the markets.
“This agreement is a significant milestone for Bluefin as we extend our PCI-validated P2PE solutions globally,” says Tom Savage, Chief Sales Officer of Bluefin.
“The collaboration among the teams from both organizations was outstanding as we were successful in meeting timelines for migration,” said Andreas Räschmeier, CEO of Scheidt & Bachmann Fare Collection Systems GmbH. “The expertise and strong dedication of everyone involved made it possible.”
