July 15th, 2025 – Atlanta GA – Bluefin, a global leader in payment and data security, today announced a partnership with Allied Electronics to bring Bluefin’s PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solution, Decryptx®, to Allied’s NeXGen PRIME forecourt controller platform.
NeXGen PRIME fuses the performance of Allied’s NeXGen Forecourt Controller with the advanced AEGIS hardware platform to deliver a best-in-class automation solution for retail petroleum and convenience store operators. As Bluefin’s integrated partner for Commercial Fuel, Allied currently supports more than 500 live locations using the joint solution to protect sensitive cardholder data.
The integration of Decryptx® provides an added layer of security by encrypting payment data at the point of interaction – such as fuel dispensers or in-store terminals – and keeping it encrypted through to decryption in Bluefin’s secure environment. This not only protects against cyber threats but also helps petroleum retailers and grocery stores simplify PCI DSS compliance, reduce risk, and build consumer trust.
With over 52,000 interface devices deployed globally and a client roster that includes Pilot, Casey’s, Love’s, and QuikTrip, Allied is a trusted leader in forecourt automation. The addition of Bluefin’s P2PE technology ensures their customers are equipped to meet the rising demands of payment security in complex, high-volume environments.
“Our goal is to make enterprise-grade payment security accessible and practical for all retail fueling environments,” said Sean Gately, Vice President of Security Solutions at Bluefin. “This integration brings together Allied’s innovation and Bluefin’s P2PE expertise to protect both merchants and consumers at the pump and in-store.”
“Security is critical in today’s fueling landscape, and Bluefin’s P2PE solution enhances our ability to deliver both protection and performance to our customers,” said Bob Danford, Strategic Account Manager, Allied Electronics. “Together, we’re raising the standard for secure, compliant, and future-ready forecourt technology.”
