Bluefin, a leader in integrated payments, recently announced its partnership with Visa for network tokenization. Bluefin will directly integrate with Visa through this partnership to provide network tokens spanning card brands.
Bluefin will provide network tokenization options through ShieldConex, a vaultless tokenization solution that secures payment and ACH account data, protected health information (PHI), and personally identifiable information (PII) input via an iFrame or API. In addition, PayConex, Bluefin's payment gateway, will have the ability to handle network tokens.
Chief Information Officer at Bluefin, Tim Barnett, said, "The acceleration of digital commerce and card-not-present (CNP) transactions has underscored requirements for secure payment processing and data input." He also said, "We are excited to provide our partners and merchants with greater flexibility around how they tokenize cardholder data through the addition of this network tokenization option."

Network tokenization varies from traditional payment card tokenization, in which a merchant's acquirer or payment processor issues tokens for credit and debit card data. Instead, card brands issue a token and a unique transaction cryptogram, allowing network tokens to be interoperable across payment processors, acquirers, and payment gateways.
