Bytemark and Advanced Mobile Payment Inc. (AMP) partnered to create an EMV Level 3-certified solution for Toronto that will accept both contact and contactless payments, offering a secure and convenient transportation ticketing option.
Ontario transit agency Metrolinx recently began using AMP’s 8200 EMV for the Union Pearson Express, which transports four million riders annually between the Toronto airport and the city. It marks the first time this smart terminal has been deployed for transit purposes. The 8200 EMV is PCI and PA-DSS compliant.

The collaboration combines Bytemark’s validation application with AMP’s handheld payment device, allowing for all-in-one rapid sales, ticket scanning, and receipt printing, no external printer required.
