Paragon
Services currently performs PIN encryption utilizing the DUKPT
and 3DES protocols. Encryption takes place prior to shipping
your PIN pad or terminal, eliminating delays in the
set up of new debit merchants. Paragon Services is proud
to be sponsored by JP Morgan/Chase as a designated full-service
encryption facility. Paragon is a member of the STAR national
debit network.
For
new merchants with existing equipment, PIN pads are
shipped to Paragon for encryption. Please contact Paragon
and we will provide you with an encryption number,
to be included when shipping the PIN pad to our facility.
This allows accurate tracking as PIN pads are received and shipped.
For your convenience, all equipment is encrypted and return shipped
the same day it's received.
