Postilion Realtime

The Postilion Realtime product enables consumer transactions initiated by all payment instruments, including cash, card and cheque. Postilion Realtime includes several components that manage the integrity and security of transactions, control the routing of transaction information, and can perform authorization on behalf of card issuers. It can perform currency conversion, reconcile transactions, and assist operators with terminal monitoring and event logging.

At the heart of a Postilion Realtime deployment is the Postilion Realtime Framework. This framework provides all the generic EFT processing required in most installations.
