Verifone and Thales Open Seamless Global Connection of Payment Placements

• Thales today announced a partnership with Verifone, a global leader in payment terminal solutions, to connect Verifone’s next-generation point-of-sale (POS) terminals using Thales eSIM technology.

• The partnership aims to simplify device usage and enable secure, flexible connectivity to payment terminals worldwide; as connectivity can be provisioned, managed and updated remotely throughout the device’s lifecycle.

• Using the Thales eSIM management platform, Verifone eliminates the need for removable SIM cards and country-specific hardware versions, significantly reducing operational complexity for manufacturers and service providers alike.

MEUDON, France — At the core of this partnership is Thales’ leadership in eSIM management for large-scale connected devices, allowing for the provision of remote connectivity and management, in accordance with the latest GSMA SGP.32 IoT specifications. These standards support secure and user-friendly management of connection profiles, making it possible to deploy devices globally while maintaining full control over connection options at the local level.

The partnership aims to simplify device usage and enable secure, flexible connectivity to payment terminals worldwide; as connectivity can be provisioned, managed and updated remotely throughout the device’s lifecycle.

For Verifone, this approach is transforming productivity and usability. Devices can be manufactured in a single, standardized configuration, shipped anywhere in the world, and activated remotely once released. This aligns supply chains, accelerates time to market, and improves resilience in an environment where fit and scale are critical.

For merchants and payment service providers, embedded eSIM connectivity ensures reliable, secure and always-on connectivity for payment operations, while reducing installation hassles and maintenance costs. Communication becomes an integrated digital skill instead of a physical dependency.
