The APAC, Europe and Latin America expansion together with our California, US-based Corporate Headquarters gives us the true meaning of global coverage.

Delivering Complete Payment Solutions:

The beauty of payments is that it’s dynamic and ever-changing. Payment security requirements are getting tougher, new payment technologies are emerging, EMV payments is the worldwide standard. With the complications of payment growing, merchants are looking for simpler and easier solutions. ID TECH is solving these payment complications by delivering complete payment solutions. This is reflected in both ID TECH’s current product set and roadmap, which includes a strategic direction for payment devices that can host payment applications developed around core platforms that span across all product families.

With simplicity and flexibility in mind, ID TECH’s Platform Design Architecture enables single integration from multiple angles, including EMV and application development, as well as pre and post-deployment services including key injection, configuration, and estate management.
