Paris, April 8, 2025 - Ingenico, a global leader in payment acceptance and services, has announced that its Ingenico SoftPOS (SDK) is now certified under the latest PCI Mobile Payments on COTS (MPoC) Standard, version 1.1. Ingenico SoftPOS SDK for Android is the first solution to comply with this updated certification, which introduces greater flexibility in how payments are accepted using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices.

The MPoC 1.1 standard allows for the inclusion of a Secure Card Reader (SCR) alongside SCRPs. In response, Ingenico will launch this functionality later this year, featuring support of SCR and SCRP in all our SoftPOS solutions. This high-performance reader can be easily attached to any smartphone, enabling merchants to offer mobile payment acceptance, including chip and pin, as a seamless extension of their existing setup.

Additionally, MPoC 1.1 streamlines the assessment process, saving time and costs for Ingenico’s partners.

This is really the first PCI standard that aligns and sets out a future vision of SoftPOS software and hardware working together for the benefit of the end user - we think this will be the game changer for SoftPOS adoption within Ingenico’s customer base.
