Blackwell has implemented YESpay's EMBOSS solution to provide chip and PIN payments across its 160 EPoS tills in 50 UK stores.

The service integrates with ITIM's EPoS technology which supports all chip and PIN payments. YESpay saved the academic bookseller over three months in bank accreditation and PCI approval time, as its EMBOSS Bureau Service is a pre-accredited solution.

Victor Smith, IT manager at Blackwell, comments: "The adoption of the EMBOSS payment solution means that we don't have the burden of complying with PCI standards ourselves. It has saved us time and money, as well as offering further business benefits. We now have the ability to view critical business information online through a portal on the YESpay website, which provides us with visibility on sales data. The payment solution will also guarantee our customers with a fast, and secure method of payment, improving our customer service offering."
