Banknbox, a leading provider of payment solutions and digital transformation technologies, has announced its official attainment of the PCI MPoC (Mobile Payments on COTS) certification, issued by the PCI Security Standards Council. This milestone places Banknbox on the global list of certified providers of merchant mobile card-acceptance solutions, marking a significant achievement in the rapidly evolving digital payments landscape.
With this certification, Banknbox becomes one of the first companies worldwide to be recognized as a PCI-certified SoftPOS solution provider, joining an exclusive group of just 17 companies globally. The achievement underscores the company’s commitment to the highest international security and technical standards, while reinforcing its role as a trusted technology partner for financial institutions and merchants seeking secure, scalable, and future-ready payment solutions.
Global Recognition for Advanced Mobile Payment Security
The PCI MPoC certification is considered one of the most rigorous global standards governing mobile payment acceptance on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices. It ensures that SoftPOS solutions meet strict security requirements for processing card-present transactions on smartphones and tablets without the need for traditional POS hardware.
For Banknbox, this recognition reflects years of investment in secure architecture, compliance-driven development, and continuous innovation. Moreover, the certification validates the company’s ability to deliver payment technologies that protect sensitive cardholder data while maintaining seamless user experiences for merchants and consumers alike.
Isolated SDK Approval Accelerates Deployment and Integration
As part of the PCI MPoC accreditation, Banknbox also secured approval for its Isolated Software Development Kit (SDK), a key technical component that significantly enhances deployment efficiency. This modular certification approach enables each system component to be approved independently, streamlining integration processes and shortening certification cycles across multiple projects.
Consequently, financial institutions and merchants can benefit from faster time-to-market, reduced technical complexity, and greater flexibility when deploying SoftPOS solutions. In addition, the isolated certification model supports rapid scalability across different use cases and markets, aligning with the growing demand for agile and cost-efficient payment infrastructures.
Strong Momentum in the SoftPOS Acceptance Market
Over recent months, Banknbox has recorded substantial growth in the SoftPOS acceptance sector, driven by partnerships with local, regional, and global service providers. This expansion reflects a broader market shift toward mobile-based payment acceptance, as merchants increasingly favor solutions that eliminate hardware dependency while offering enhanced flexibility and operational efficiency.
SoftPOS technology is widely regarded as a transformative alternative to traditional POS devices, enabling merchants of all sizes to accept card payments using secure mobile applications. In this context, Banknbox’s PCI MPoC certification positions the company at the forefront of this transition, allowing it to capitalize on rising demand for modern, software-driven payment solutions.
Strategic Implications for Regional and Global Expansion
This certification marks a strategic milestone in Banknbox’s growth trajectory, strengthening its competitive position in Egypt and across the wider region. By meeting PCI MPoC requirements, the company is now well-positioned to expand its footprint and support partners across diverse sectors, including banking, fintech, retail, and enterprise services.
Furthermore, the certification enhances Banknbox’s ability to deliver secure, fully integrated, and compliant electronic payment solutions, aligned with international best practices. It also reinforces confidence among partners and regulators, supporting long-term expansion plans and sustainable growth in increasingly regulated payment ecosystems.
Commitment to Innovation and International Standards
Banknbox’s inclusion on the global PCI-certified providers list reflects its broader commitment to innovation, security, and compliance. By adhering to internationally recognized standards, the company continues to play an active role in advancing digital payment ecosystems and enabling cashless transformation.
In the context of accelerating digitalization and the growing adoption of mobile payments, Banknbox’s achievement serves as a strong signal of its readiness to support the next phase of payment innovation. As markets continue to evolve, the company remains focused on delivering high-impact technologies that combine security, efficiency, and scalability for merchants and financial institutions worldwide.
