TNS introduces Bring Your Own App for Android payment terminals
Transaction Network Services (TNS) has introduced Bring Your Own App (BYOA), a new capability that enables operators to develop and deploy their own Android applications on supported payment terminals while TNS manages payment processing, compliance, certifications and supporting infrastructure.
The solution gives operators greater control over customer-facing applications without requiring them to manage the complexities of payment acceptance.
"Operators have historically had to choose between innovating on customer experience or taking on the complexity of payments," said David Hore, senior director, Payments Product Portfolio, TNS Payments Market. "BYOA is designed to remove that compromise."
Available across TNS's Android-based unattended payment terminal platform and supported retail and fuel payment terminals, BYOA also offers flexibility in managing acquiring relationships.
Its architecture separates acquirer keys from terminal keys, allowing operators to change acquirers or renegotiate processing rates across entire device fleets without physically updating individual terminals.
TNS said providers interested in BYOA can contact the company to explore supported deployment options and integration requirements.
