PAYMENT TOKEN MIGRATION SERVICES

Payment Token Migration made easy

Changing payment vendors can be challenging, but it’s often necessary to take advantage of new features, improve service, decrease costs, or all of the above. That’s because changing your payment vendor means migrating card-on-file payment credentials, and the process to extract and re-tokenize payment credentials can be complicated and put merchants and customer data at risk. Several factors need to be carefully considered, planned and executed as part of a token payment migration project.

Typically, vendors that provide token migration and payment tokenization services have existing processes to extract token values to full Primary Account Numbers (PANs) in a pre-set format. Similarly, target token vendors have APIs or batch processing capabilities that expect data in their format, but these are rarely aligned. A merchant must either “handle” the data themselves or engage with a competent, qualified and PCI compliant vendor to perform this work.

We simplifie payment token migration with its Token Migration Program. Our payment tokenization services offer seamless and secure data tokenization, ensuring efficient token management. Experience a hassle-free transition with our token payment system.

Rebar Technology and W. Capra Consulting Group have made token migration easy. We have the experience and expertise to assist merchants in successfully planning and executing all their migration projects.
