ICC SOLUTIONS LIMITED is a global leader in Chip & PIN payment testing and certi cation technology. Our innovative test tools enable highly e cient chip & PIN certi cations

This new environment empowers our clients to be in full control of their testing, therefore addressing the huge volume and necessary scalability required for the USA market. We have been recognised as being a signi cant force
