EMV L1/L2/L3

Visa contact & contactless kernel

Level 2 contact and contactless kernels certified for Visa, ready to drop into a card reader, POS terminal, or SoftPOS app.

What it covers

Our Visa kernels handle both the chip-insert and contactless flows end to end:

  • Reads and processes Visa-branded contactless cards and mobile wallets
  • Reads and processes Visa chip cards inserted at the terminal (contact)
  • Full EMV Level 2 kernel logic — application selection, risk management, cardholder verification
  • Certified against Visa's own test plan, not just a generic EMV baseline
Visa payWave. Visa's contactless brand, payWave, lets a Visa card or device tap to pay instead of inserting or swiping — our kernel is certified to Visa's contactless kernel spec.
