As your payment provider we are committed to ensuring that our customers comply with industry security requirements for the processing of all types of card transactions. We want to let you know about a critical update for your MobileMerchant app.
|
What is changing? |
MobileMerchant has, for some years, used Security Certificates from Thawte to secure payment transactions. In 2017 Symantec’s Website Security business, which includes Thawte and GlobalSign, was sold to DigiCert. As part of the acquisition, the Thawte Certificate Authority certificates are being retired and Security Certificates from Thawte will no longer be trusted.
MobileMerchant is therefore switching to new Security Certificates from DigiCert on 28th August 2018. |
|
What does this mean for you? |
If you are using a mobile phone or tablet running Android you should update the MobileMerchant app at the earliest opportunity to ensure you are not impacted after 28th August 2018. Support of the new Security Certificates from DigiCert is dependent on the mobile phone or tablet upon which you use the MobileMerchant app. |

What happens if you don’t update the MobileMerchant app |
We encourage you to perform this update as soon as possible, well in advance of the deadline of 28th August 2018, to minimise any impact on your business.
A summary of the impact by operating system is shown below: High impact: update required Android (versions 4.x and earlier): The new Security Certificates from DigiCert may not be supported and updating the MobileMerchant app is required to ensure continued use of MobileMerchant after 28th August 2018. Low impact: update recommended Android (versions 5.x and later) The new Security Certificates from DigiCert are supported but updating the MobileMerchant app is recommended to ensure continued use of MobileMerchant after 28th August 2018. No impact: no action is required iOS (all versions) The new Security Certificates from DigiCert are supported and no action is required. The updated version of the MobileMerchant app (version 2.4.1) will automatically check for support of the new Security Certificates from DigiCert when the app is first launched. If the Security Certificates are not supported, the app will install the Security Certificates and guide you through any further actions required. |
