Elitt

Elitt runs a laboratory that tests the functionality, compliance and interoperability of chip cards, mobile applications, payment terminals and other acceptance systems such as vending machines and validators. It also assesses the durability of digital identity documents submitted by manufacturers. The company sells test cards (CB and Bancontact test cards, development cards and test merchant contracts) through its online e-shop, and offers its own and third-party test tools.

Its customers are payment and identity industry players, including manufacturers of terminals and digital identity documents. Services include the "eazee" range of end-to-end payment services and the EPEC consortium, formed by Elitt, FrenchSys and SRC, for deploying multi-scheme payment projects in Europe. The company also provides consulting for payment system evolution projects and audits of production sites.

Elitt is headquartered in Colombelles, France, and was founded in 2007 as a SAS. The laboratory is accredited by EMVCo for 3DS functional evaluation and is referenced by ECPC for CPACE DIC card and CPACE kernel terminal evaluations.
