EMVCo has released EMV®
Secure Remote Commerce (SRC) Specification v1.0
, which is available
for free public download from the EMVCo website. The specification
provides a foundation that will enable the processing of e-commerce
transactions in a consistent, streamlined fashion across a variety of
digital channels and devices, including smartphones, tablets, PCs and
other connected devices.

The publication of EMV SRC v1.0 follows a public consultation period on
the draft specification in Q4 2018, which allowed as many payment
industry participants as possible, including merchants, card issuers and
payment networks, the opportunity to review and contribute.

In parallel, EMVCo has launched a new payment icon that offers a
consistent visual element which will signal that EMV SRC is being used
as a foundation to process card-based payment transactions in
remote-checkout environments, including websites and apps. The icon will
become a trusted, easy-to-recognise visual symbol which conveys to
consumers that they can expect an easy, smart checkout wherever it
appears, regardless of which payment card or channel they use.

Karteek Patel, Chair of EMVCo’s Executive Committee, comments: “The
continued growth of global e-commerce requires reinforcing consumer
convenience and confidence in payments. EMV SRC can deliver this while
supporting the evolving habits of consumers as they migrate their
shopping to PCs/ laptops, mobile devices and other connected devices of
the present and future. The initial EMV SRC Specification enables the
creation of a virtual payment terminal and is the first step in the
journey to deliver the same confidence consumers all around the world
have come to expect from EMV through their experience with EMV chip,
contactless and QR codes.”

Consumers, merchants, card issuers, payment networks and other
stakeholders may benefit from the SRC ecosystem. Consumers will be
provided with a more consistent purchase experience. The reduced need
for entering card and shipping information has the potential to lower
shopping cart abandonment for merchants. SRC participants can also
benefit from a simplified integration, thanks to a consistent framework
and interfaces across the digital commerce environment.

EMV SRC is compatible with other technologies such as EMV Payment
Tokenisation and EMV 3-D Secure.

Together with the launch of the payment icon, EMVCo has also released
the corresponding Trademark Licensing Agreement and the Reproduction
Requirements documentation for the use of the icon and call-to-action
across remote-commerce environments. The icon and accompanying documents
are available from the EMVCo
website
for royalty-free usage.
