Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions (TGCS) is a leading provider of payment solutions that are designed to help retailers manage and process card and other forms of electronic payments in an ever-changing market environment. From the 1980’s onwards, TGCS (formerly IBM Retail Store Solutions division until Toshiba TEC purchased them in 2013) started to automate the payment process with innovations such as swiping the magnetic stripe on the card and then enabling online authorisation of card transactions. When the United Kingdom (UK) went live with Chip and PIN in 2005, TGCS was first to roll out this technology in a Tier 1 retailer and also the first to complete a nationwide contactless deployment in the UK. The latest versions of our payment solutions (Toshiba StorePay, Toshiba Electronic Payment System and Toshiba SureSwitch) continue to provide enhanced business function such as Eagle-Eye, PayPal and PED Advertising along with additional security and support for the latest EMV and PCI standards.
