SWITCHWARE®

ATM/Debit Payment Authorization and Transaction Switching System

Solution Overview

SWITCHWARE® is an enterprise payment authorization and transaction switching system, used primarily for EMV ATM/debit card issuing, card-based transaction processing and ATM/POS acquiring device management. SWITCHWARE serves as a robust and reliable solution for financial institutions who wish to minimize costs by internally managing “in-house” the ATM and POS device operations, the EMV ATM/debit card issuance, and card transaction routing and processing between an electronic funds transfer (EFT) network and a core banking or host authorizing system.  SWITCHWARE has several features and layers of redundancy that improve performance and enhanced data security.
