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