Newland Payment Technology has secured critical certification from France’s Groupement des Cartes Bancaires CB, the country’s domestic card payment scheme, for its standalone payment application running on Android terminals. The approval covers the FRV6.3.1 standard and applies to NPT’s entire Android payment terminal portfolio operating in the French market. The certification allows the global payment terminal provider to maintain and expand its presence in France’s competitive payments landscape, ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements for card processing. This development comes as France continues to enforce strict domestic payment standards alongside broader European regulations. The approval positions NPT to serve merchants and financial institutions requiring CB-compliant Android-based payment solutions. For payment service providers and acquirers operating in France, this certification ensures continuity of terminal deployments and updates across NPT’s Android device range without regulatory disruption.
