OASE™
OASE, Dover Fueling Solutions®’ (DFS) online authorisation and switching environment, helps facilitate fuel and bank card payments at the electronic point-of-sale (EPOS), to reduce the complexity of diverse key management and protocol implementation from the site and bringing it to a central switch point.
One single security scheme (based on DUKPT) and one single protocol (based on IFSF industry standards) is all it takes to connect a fuel retail site with a point-of-sale (POS) system with OASE.
Once connected, it is then possible to convert all payments made from bank cards in accordance with their specific security and protocol guidelines. When integrated with DFS Crypto NOVA®, OASE can reduce on-site complexity, while also ensuring full compliance and seamless payment processing.
