Seal Beach, CA, September 12, 2016 - MagTek, a global leader in mobile payment security, is ready to ship a wide array of PIN Encrypting Devices and Secure Card Reader Authenticators that enable the iPhone 7 users to conduct secure, convenient, mobile payments using either NFC, contact or contactless EMV chip, magnetic stripe, and manually entered, card-notpresent payment data. MagTek's PIN Encrypting Devices are fully certified and exceed the latest PCI PTS standards for security.

For several years, MagTek has been the market leader designing and manufacturing innovative and professional grade point-of-sale devices that interface to Apple's iOS devices. Whether using the original 30-PIN connector or the current Lightning connector or wireless connections and now the recently removed 3.5mm audio jack connector, MagTek makes mobile payments on all Apple devices simple, reliable and secure.

Security and fraud remain the top concerns for all merchants conducting mobile payments. MagTek's MagneSafe™ Security Architecture (MSA) offers a proven and secure solution that immediately encrypts sensitive magnetic stripe and chip card data using open-standardsbased encryption with DUKPT key management. For each transaction, a new encryption key is automatically generated. Additionally, these devices feature MagnePrint® technology which has been proven to identify counterfeit cards in real-time and further mitigate risk of payment fraud.

"We are excited by the growing demand we see for mobile payment flexibility and security from merchants of all sizes", says John Arato, MagTek's Vice President and General Manager for Retail Solutions. "As device manufacturers like Apple stop using the audio jack as a standard interface, MagTek will keep delivering multiple interface options that work seamlessly with legacy as well as the newest mobile platforms. MagTek devices offer customers the best value for enhanced security and connectivity options that help merchants achieve PCI and EMV compliance and make the checkout process safe and convenient for customers."

MagTek has developed its VIP Program to offer a wide variety of programming tools and software developer kits to streamline integration efforts for iOS and other popular operating systems. Using its Magensa Gateway, users can also get easy access to a wide array of payment protection services including MagneFlex Middleware, real-time Card and Device Authentication, Terminal Management, Card Data Decryption, Remote Key Injection and One-Time Password Services.
