Pierre Boyer,
Head of Card Information System, Total
— France, 05/09

"To become a reality, SEPA for Cards needs the involvement and the cooperation of all the stakeholders. I sincerely welcome the birth of the SPVA, initiated by the Big Three of payment terminals and open to the multiple stakeholders of the payment value chain. Coming after initiatives taken by Banks (EPC), Schemes (CAS), Retailers and Consumers, I really hope that this alliance will contribute to the SEPA’s future card transaction security standard achievement, and will facilitate the improvement of the SEPA for cards Governance thanks to an active participation within its to-be-created decision bodies."

   
 

Jean-Marc Mosconi, Managing Director, Mercatel —
France, 05/09

"Mercatel greets the initiative of the big three payment terminals manufacturers to come together in a global association in order to contribute to develop and implement security guidelines. This will profit the whole industry as the manufacturers, thanks to their clear picture of the retail and merchants’ expectations and constraints, will be able to remedy the current security drifts. Let’s remind that SEPA -as European authorities call for it- cannot be implemented without taking into account the needs of all stakeholders. We are convinced that the SPVA will make sure the improvements will be shared with retail and merchants, necessary condition for the SEPA to become effective."
