Ingenico — 7 prefixes (MA-L); payment terminal / POS manufacturer

A MAC address beginning with one of seven prefixes registered under the Ingenico corporate family belongs to an Ingenico-manufactured device — in practice this almost always means a point-of-sale (POS) payment terminal, PIN pad, or card reader rather than general consumer electronics.

Ingenico is a substantive, long-running operating company, not a bare single-OUI registrant. Seven separate IEEE MA-L blocks register to three org-name variants that clearly belong to the same corporate family across time and geography, rather than scattered or unrelated registrations.

Plain "INGENICO" holds 2 blocks registered to a Valence, France address — the company's historical HQ. "INGENICO TERMINALS SAS" holds 4 blocks registered to 13-17 Rue Pagès, Suresnes, France — the current HQ per the company's own site and Wikipedia. "Ingenico International" holds 1 block registered to an Australian address, consistent with a regional subsidiary.

This Valence-to-Suresnes address progression across the registry rows lines up with Ingenico's known corporate relocation history, independently corroborating that all three org-name variants are the same company rather than unrelated registrants.

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI) x7; exhaustive search of MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) and MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) confirms zero blocks under any Ingenico name variant (INGENICO, INGENICO TERMINALS SAS, Ingenico International) — 7 is the complete, exhaustively-searched prefix count

[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

HQ / country

current — 13-17 Rue Pagès, Suresnes, FR 92150 (matches company site + Wikipedia); historical — 9 Avenue de la Gare, Valence, Drôme, FR 26958; regional — 1/9 Apollo Street, AU (exact suburb not resolved in this pass) [Confirmed for registry addresses] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Notable acquisitions/history

Date registered

Unknown / not published by IEEE for any of the 7 blocks; third-party "date registered" figures shown by aggregators (e.g. maclookup.app) are database artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are not recorded as such here [Confirmed]

Security context

no CVEs or vendor security advisories specific to Ingenico hardware were surfaced in this pass — NVD's JS-rendered search UI and a cvedetails.com vendor page could not be fetched via automated tooling (NVD returned no static results, cvedetails.com returned HTTP 403), and this session's web-search quota was exhausted before a broader query could run, so this is an incomplete check rather than a confirmed absence of advisories [Unknown]. Generic context: as a manufacturer of payment terminals, Ingenico devices are PCI-relevant/security-sensitive hardware by category, but no device- or firmware-specific vulnerability could be cited in this pass.

Related vendors

none identified beyond the Ingenico corporate family itself (Worldline as former parent, Apollo Global Management as current owner of the terminals business — corporate ownership, not a related OUI registrant) [Confirmed — ownership only, not a MAC-prefix relationship] — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingenico

Analyst note

7 confirmed MA-L blocks across 3 org-name variants, with a registry address history (Valence -> Suresnes) that independently corroborates the company's known HQ relocation, plus consistent third-party confirmation (Wikipedia, company site) of an identifiable, large, currently-operating company — this is genuine company substance, not a bare single-OUI registration [Confirmed]
