MineSec Achieves CPACE Certification for SoftPOS in Europe

MineSec is proud to announce the achievement of the CPACE (CPA Contactless Extensions) certification for their SoftPOS solutions. Developed by the European Card Payment Cooperation (ECPC), CPACE is chosen by many European countries as their domestic payment cards standards.

The CPACE certification confirms that MineSec’s SoftPOS meets the rigorous functional, interoperability, and compliance standards required by ECPC. This recognition reinforces MineSec’s position as a trusted provider of secure, future-ready payment solutions, proven to work seamlessly across multiple European payment schemes.

  3. Robust Security – Relying on CPACE EMV security fundamentals and MineSec PCI MPoC-certified solution, it is ensured every transaction processed via MineSec SoftPOS platform is secure, reliable, and trusted by issuers, acquirers, and merchants.
