# A Practical Guide to Compliant Mobile Payments for Field Teams

Mobile card readers promise fast and easy payments for field teams. This focus on speed however often ignores the architecture needed for security and offline resilience.

The objective is to implement fully **compliant mobile payments** that function reliably even without a network connection.

## Meeting Core Compliance Requirements for Mobile Payments

Key actions for your **field team payment solutions** must include:

-   Using only PCI-validated P2PE solutions.
-   Ensuring card data is encrypted at the point of interaction.
-   Never storing unencrypted cardholder data on any part of a mobile device.
-   Maintaining secure device management protocols.

This is where systems that offer [pre-certified secure payment integration](https://eposly.io/solution/flexible-payments-secure-payment-integration/?utm_source=Ascendx&utm_medium=blogbuster&utm_campaign=referral) prove their value.

## Designing Resilient Offline Payment Workflows
