Fime America Opens San Francisco Office To Assist With Looming EMV Deadline

Fime America, an advanced consulting and test services provider for end-to-end secure transactions, has launched a San Francisco operation, Finextra reported. As the U.S. EMV migration deadline gets closer, the new location will provide U.S. payments and NFC stakeholders with local access to FIME’s global secure-chip testing and certification expertise, the site reported.

“It is an exciting time for the U.S. payments market as it implements a secure chip infrastructure,” says Xavier Giandominici, Director at FIME America and responsible for the launch of the new office. “This not only sees the country migrate to the global EMV payment standard, but also benefit from the endless opportunities this framework presents in terms of NFC technology functionality and the delivery of secure mobile services.”
