EdfaPay, a leading digital payment solutions provider, has become the first company in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to receive all three major certifications from the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).
The certifications, PCI Mobile Payments on COTS (MPoC) Solutions, PCI MPoC Software, and PCI MPoC Services, mark a significant milestone in digital payments security, positioning EdfaPay at the forefront of innovation and compliance in the region’s financial technology sector.
The PCI MPoC Solutions certification sets a global benchmark for the secure operation of payment systems on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices, allowing merchants to safely process both contactless and PIN based transactions.
The PCI MPoC Software certification confirms that EdfaPay’s underlying payment application software meets stringent PCI security standards. Additionally, the PCI MPoC Services certification ensures that deployment, management, and maintenance of these services are conducted with full compliance and security.
The triple PCI certifications are expected to further drive the adoption of secure financial technologies in the MENA region, contributing to the growth of digital payment ecosystems and improving the customer experience across multiple sectors.
