Visa Mobile CDET

By: Visa Inc App
Visa Mobile version of the Contactless Device Evaluation Toolkit (CDET)

Features & Capabilities

Visa Mobile CDET is an Android application designed for Visa payWave acquiring clients, merchants, systems integrators, and vendors. It provides a convenient alternative for confirming that contactless readers can accept Visa payWave cards. This is critical during the development, deployment, and update stages of reader programs, ensuring compliance with Visa’s Contactless Device Evaluation Toolkit (CDET) requirements.

Please note that as of July 16, 2022, the Mobile Contactless Device Evaluation Toolkit (mCDET) app is no longer valid for any new Level 3 testing but remains available for troubleshooting existing setups. This tool helps streamline testing procedures, supports quality assurance, and facilitates smooth deployment of contactless payment readers within the Visa ecosystem.

User Reviews

Users find Visa Mobile CDET highly useful for testing Visa kernel and contactless payment systems, offering detailed APDU-level logs and free access. However, multiple reviewers report issues with saving logs on Android 10 devices due to system changes, combined with complaints about the app's complicated and user-unfriendly interface. Some users also experienced functionality problems, including failure to read Visa debit cards and difficulty managing card versions within the app.
