There’s no limit to where we can go
Switchio works with a broad range of fuel payment schemes, and we are regularly adding new ones. Our technology knows no limits.
TOMRA is committed to using innovative technology to optimize resource productivity across a range of industries, and in January we launched a new system for reusable takeaway packaging in a pilot project with the municipality of Aarhus in Denmark. In this pilot, Switchio has served as a key partner in developing the system used to refund the deposit on the reusable cups to consumers' bank cards at our automated collection points. Switchio's experience and attention to detail has been a great asset to us, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Yes, our system meets all security compliance standards.
We prioritize robust security measures, including compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
We also employ Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE), the gold standard for protecting payment data. Each component involved in handling payment data undergoes rigorous evaluation to ensure it aligns with strict P2PE standards and maintains security integrity.
At our core, security is part of our DNA.
As a software house, we are hardware agnostic but offer recommendations for specific uses.
You can select from a range of available payment hardware options or request new additions as needed. Our solutions cater to large merchants, payment facilitators, ISO partners, etc., but not to small businesses with fewer than 50 terminals.
Payment hardware options include portable devices, self-service kiosks, and advanced card readers with EMV or NFC technology.
The right choice depends on your business needs, transaction volumes, and customer payment preferences, whether you are upgrading or starting a new one. Select hardware that enhances efficiency and customer satisfaction from our webpages or let's discuss this.
