Background on the Mobile Payments on COTS (MPoC) v1.1  

The Mobile Payments on COTS (MPoC) standard has been developed to address the security requirements of the mobile payment market. Version 1.0 of the standard was officially released in November 2022, and the Program Guide document was released in December 2022.  

For v1.1, the MPoC standard has been updated to address stakeholder feedback and improve flexibility and utility. PCI SSC is seeking further formal feedback on these changes through the RFC process, so that other items of feedback can be collected and considered prior to finalization and release.
