Share

Bluefin, the global leader in PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and tokenization technologies that protect payments and sensitive data, has announced a strategic partnership with Printec Group, a leader in business-to-customer transaction technologies across Central and Eastern Europe. Through this collaboration, Printec will integrate Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE solution into its payment offerings, delivering best-in-class security to European customers.

The first deployment of this partnership will be with a global supermarket chain, securing retail payments through Verifone devices.

Printec has long been a leader in payment automation, with deep expertise in financial and banking sectors. Now, as the company expands its portfolio into the retail market, security remains a top priority. By providing Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE solution, Printec is ensuring that its clients benefit from the highest standard of encryption, reducing payment and data compliance scope and protecting sensitive cardholder data from cyber threats.

“The Printec team understands the critical importance of securing payment transactions in today’s omni-channel payment environment,” said John M. Perry, CEO of Bluefin. “This partnership marks a significant step in advancing payment security across Europe, providing retailers with robust data protection while streamlining payment and data compliance.”

Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE solutions encrypt payment data at the point of interaction, ensuring that sensitive cardholder information is protected from unauthorized access. By implementing P2PE, Printec clients significantly enhance security at the point of sale, mitigating risks associated with data breaches and cyber fraud. Integrated with Verifone payment devices, the solution allows for seamless deployment across retail environments without disrupting existing workflows.

“At Printec, we provide technologies that make life easier every minute – while ensuring the highest level of security,” said Alex Serbetis, Deputy-CEO of Printec. “Our partnership with Bluefin reinforces our commitment to innovation and payment security, delivering PCI-validated P2PE as the gold standard in encryption. This collaboration strengthens data protection for retailers while reducing compliance costs and security risks.”
