Bengaluru, 21 Dec (KNN) Payments and API banking solutions company Cashfree Payments today announced ‘tokenization solution, ‘Token Vault’ will go live on December 27, 2021. The company has partnered with Visa and Mastercard to deploy tokenization services for its customers. 

The offering will empower merchants to save card network tokens easily to comply with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines on Tokenization. It highlights that neither the approved Payment Aggregators nor the merchants shall store client card credentials on their servers. Only RBI-authorized card issuing banks or related networks can save customers’ card information. The deadline for card tokenization is December 31, 2021, according to a press release issued by the company.

‘Token Vault’ will eliminate a merchant’s need to onboard multiple payment partners by enabling them to save tokenized cards and process payments using tokenized cards, acting as a single solution. Merchants will now be able to leverage increased security, cost saving, digitalised experience and simplified data storage.
