When choosing a payment terminal, one of the most important criteria is security. As card
payments become increasingly common, both consumers and merchants need confidence
that transactions are handled securely. All payment terminals must be PCI PTS certified to
ensure safe and compliant use. Seitatech’s terminals always meet this security requirement.
What is PCI PTS Certification?
PCI PTS (Payment Card Industry PIN Transaction Security) is an international security
standard that ensures a high level of protection in payment terminals. Certification means the
terminal has passed extensive testing related to:
- Secure PIN entry and processing
- Physical device security (tamper protection)
- Encryption, key management, and other logical security controls
The standard is maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes major
global payment card brands such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

Seitatech and PCI PTS Certified Terminals
Seitatech supplies PCI PTS 6.x certified payment terminals that meet the latest security
requirements. Our devices support:
- Secure chip and contactless payments
- Integration with third-party POS applications or systems via API
- PIN entry directly on the device, with no risk of data leaks
- Secure integration with payment processing systems
What if the device’s certification expires?
It’s important to note that even after PCI PTS certification expires, a device can in some cases
still be used for up to 10 years beyond the expiration date. Additionally, if a project or delivery
began before the certification expired, the device may still be installable in certain situations.
This flexibility supports longer device lifecycles, but installations and commissioning should
always follow the current requirements of payment service providers and card schemes to
avoid potential compliance risks for resellers or merchants.
Why Does This Matter for Your Business?
