FAQ

Adyen TokenConnect alternative, answered

01What is the best alternative to Adyen TokenConnect?

Adyen TokenConnect issues network tokens within the Adyen ecosystem. PCI Proxy issues vault tokens portable across any processor, held in the EU under PCI DSS Level 1 certification, independently of any single acquirer.
