Infinite Peripherals, a developer of mobile point-of-sale devices, announced that it has been approved by the Visa Ready program, which indicates that the company's Linea Pro 5 and Infinea Tab 4 mobile peripherals meet Visa's requirements for a reliable, convenient and secure mPOS experience.

The Linea Pro 5 and Infinea Tab 4 equip the Apple iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with an encrypted MSR, barcode scanner and Bluetooth chip for use with custom software for mPOS and other merchant operations. The company said that these are the first mobile secure card reader iOS solutions to have earned PCI PTS 3.1 SRED approval.

"Infinite Peripherals is aligned with Visa's rigorous security requirements, and our mPOS devices are fully tested and approved with PCI PTS 3.1 SRED," said Jennifer Brown, strategic relationship and program manager at IPC. "Security is a primary focus for IPC, and the Visa Ready program is an important way to differentiate our hardware solutions."

Introduced in 2013, the Visa Ready program enables hardware manufacturers and mobile application software developers to ensure that their devices or applications are compatible with Visa’s requirements to initiate or accept Visa payments. The program is a framework for collaboration with Visa, along with guidance and best practices to access the power of the Visa network.
