Test tool / L3 test tool

Card Simulator

Test the correct processing of payment transactions.

State-of-the-art tool that can simulate any and all functions of an actual smart card, both contact and contactless.

Card Simulator

Reduce time-to-market for POS/ATM.

Card Simulator is a card simulation tool for acquirers, acquirer processors, merchants and terminal vendors looking to test the correct processing of payment transactions on payment devices.

Card Simulator generates detailed and clear reports of any testing, including logs and interpretations of all technical data in commands and responses. The tool works in conjunction with the industry-proven hardware SmartConnect (contact/contactless), SmartLink Box (contact) and SmartWave Box (contactless) and SmartStripe (magnetic stripe).


Key benefits

  • No need for physical cards.

  • Eliminate the risk of lost, blocked or damaged cards.

  • Simulate contact, contactless and magstripe real-time cards.

  • Gain insight into application logic with comprehensive reports, including logs and interpretations of technical data in commands and responses.

  • Flexible and easy to use.

Key features

  • State-of-the-art tool that simulate any and all functions of an actual smart card, both contact and contactless.

  • Simulate card profiles for all major payment schemes.
  • Simulate both functional and faulty cards, allowing you to monitor the terminal’s behavior during a card transaction and observe whether it reacts correctly.

How it works.

Card Simulator simulates the real behavior of a contact or contactless EMV®* card without the need for any physical cards. It simplifies the terminal testing procedure mainly by eliminating the dependency on EMV issuers and schemes for physical test cards.
