EV Open Payments EMVCo published the EV Open Payments Use Case, signaling a formal interoperable framework for EV charging payments and ongoing collaboration with industry bodies. This creates a sales opening to advise EV charging networks, automakers, and payment providers on implementing EV Open solutions, and to offer integration and testing services aligned with EMVCo standards.

Global Credibility EMVCo is collectively owned by leading payment networks including American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay, and Visa, underpinning broad credibility and global interoperability of its specifications. This makes EMVCo standards attractive to issuing banks, processors, and hardware vendors seeking a trusted basis for cross border payments; opportunity to offer certification readiness assessments, training, and testing services to accelerate market entry.

Strategic Partnerships EMVCo actively collaborates with Car Connectivity Consortium, CharIN, ISO, Open Charge Alliance, and Secure Technology Alliance. This ecosystem presents co selling opportunities with these associations and potential to deliver EMV specification enablement, testing, and security assessments to members across EV, connectivity, and payments domains.

Certification Enablement The acquisition of Verestro as a client and EMVCo approvals process highlight demand from fintech and payment solution providers for EMVCo certifications. This indicates an opportunity to position as a specialist guiding vendors through certification readiness, testing, and project management to speed time to market.

Market Growth Readiness With a focused team and revenue in the payments space, EMVCo sits in a leveraged position to expand into EV charging and secure digital payments. This signals a sales opportunity to engage mid market fintechs, EV charging OEMs, and payment processors with a value proposition around interoperability, security, and regulatory alignment, offering consulting, integration, and ongoing compliance support.
