Interac contact & contactless kernel
Level 2 contact and contactless kernels certified for Interac, ready to drop into a card reader, POS terminal, or SoftPOS app.
What it covers
Our Interac kernels handle both the chip-insert and contactless flows end to end:
- Reads and processes Interac-branded contactless cards and mobile wallets
- Reads and processes Interac chip cards inserted at the terminal (contact)
- Full EMV Level 2 kernel logic — application selection, risk management, cardholder verification
- Certified against Interac's own test plan, not just a generic EMV baseline
