Bluefin and Alacriti Partner to Deliver Advanced Payment Security to Banks, Credit Unions, and Insurers

Joint solution enhances point-of-sale payment security while reducing PCI burden

September 30, 2025 – Atlanta, GA – Bluefin, the global leader in payment and data security infrastructure, today announced a new partnership with Alacriti, a leading provider of cloud-based payments and money movement services. Through this collaboration, Bluefin’s PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solution will be integrated with Alacriti’s Orbipay EBPP solution to provide banks, credit unions, and insurance companies with secure, scalable, and flexible in-person payment experiences.

Orbipay EBPP is a unified, configurable cloud-based billing and payments solution designed to adapt to the needs of financial institutions, businesses, and their customers. It delivers a consistent, modern experience across digital and in-person channels through a single, integrated platform. With Bluefin’s P2PE integrated, banks, credit unions, and insurers can ensure the same security and compliance for payments made online, by phone, or now in person, combined with Orbipay EBPP built-in protection.

Clients of Alacriti and Bluefin benefit from:

• Stronger Card-Present Security – Transactions are encrypted from the point of entry, keeping sensitive cardholder data out of institutional systems.
• Reduced PCI Scope and Costs – PCI-validated P2PE simplifies audits, lowers compliance overhead, and streamlines annual attestations.
• Certified Device Protection – Supports P2PE-certified PAX A35 and A920 devices with built-in tamper detection and automatic deactivation.
• Simplified Compliance Management – Bluefin’s P2PE Manager® provides full online tracking, chain of custody, and PCI attestation in one system.
• Seamless EBPP Integration – Embedded directly into Orbipay EBPP with no changes required to existing Alacriti integrations.

“Banks, credit unions, and insurers face growing pressure to protect payment data while meeting demand for fast, flexible, and modern money movement experiences,” said Matthew Legg, Account Executive at Bluefin. “By integrating Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE with Alacriti’s Orbipay EBPP, we are helping financial institutions extend enterprise-grade security to their clients without adding complexity.”

“Security and innovation go hand-in-hand,” said Stuart Bain, SVP of Product Management at Alacriti. “This partnership with Bluefin strengthens Orbipay EBPP by embedding industry-leading P2PE into our platform, giving our financial institution and business customers the ability to offer their clients the payment flexibility they want with the data protection they need.”

The partnership comes at a time when financial institutions are under increasing pressure to balance security, compliance, and customer experience. With PCI-validated P2PE, businesses can reduce PCI DSS scope, simplify audits, lower compliance costs, and protect brand reputation by ensuring sensitive data is never exposed in clear text.
