Frequently Asked Questions

No. EMV QR Hub is an independent developer utility and toolkit. We have no official affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement from EMVCo, LLC. 'EMVCo' is a registered trademark of EMVCo, LLC, and we use the term solely for technical descriptive purposes to indicate compatibility with global Merchant-Presented Mode (MPM) standards.

Absolutely not. Privacy and security are our core principles. All QR generation and parsing logic happen locally within your web browser (client-side). Your sensitive payment data, MSISDNs, and merchant IDs are never transmitted to our servers or stored in any database.

An EMV QR Code is a global standard for digital payments based on the Tag-Length-Value (TLV) structure. It is a highly structured, mathematically validated format that allows consumers to pay merchants securely across different banking apps and digital wallets globally.

For this web platform, an internet connection is only required to load the initial page. Once loaded, all QR generation and parsing happen entirely locally in your browser. Our mobile Android application is designed to be a 100% offline utility.

Currently, our platform primary focuses on Static QR codes. However, you can manually enter an amount in the 'Transaction Amount' tag (Tag 54) to create a fixed-price QR.

The application uses strict ISO country code validation (Tag 58 and 59) to ensure your QR code meets global standards. Please ensure you are selecting the correct country code and omitting leading zeros.

You can use our 'Decode QR' tool to upload any EMVCo QR image. Our parser will break down every Tag, Length, and Value, and automatically validate the CRC16 checksum.
