Swiping on the motorway has given way to the chip
The sanef Group has selected Steria’s Stecard© solution to implement EMV standards, allowing for even more quicker and secure toll payments.
Electronic banking with Stecard© by Steria not only meets current business and regulatory requirements for motorway toll payments, but also guarantees that the 100 million payment card transactions undertaken every 2023 via the sanef network are fast and secure.
Until now, the swiping of magnetic bands on credit cards was sufficient for authentication purposes, in ensuring speedy payment processing on motorways. However, EMV standards have changed the obligations by now requiring motorway management to read the smart card chip for all toll transactions. This, in addition to PCI-DESS (*) , presents a major challenge for sanef and sapn (subsidiaries of the sanef Group) in migrating their systems architecture to the new structure.
In response to these challenges, sanef has implemented the Stecard© industrial modular platform, ensuring continuity of service from the initial transaction request through to final payment. This enables efficient management of higher volumes of up to 100 transactions per second. .
The Steria Stecard© solution has the capability of operating across new European “card” protocols and formats, which places it at the forefront of the banking industry and payment system standards…
“The Stecard© option satisfied our requirements and constraints on all scores,” said Edouard Fischer, Director in charge of new technologies at sanef. ”We needed an open-ended solution, capable of managing high volume banking flows independently on the road, and without requiring a PIN while guaranteeing secure payment and MPAA (Manuel de Paiement Automate sur Autoroute: French motorway automatic payment manuel) compliance.”
