Other options are also being developed, and more information will be sent when available. BRINK POS The Brink POS system supports several integrated payment options for EMV and encryption (VeriFone Point, Mercury EMV, Datacap US and Canadian EMV, Pax POSLink, TenderRetail MCM). PAR Brink POS is EMV ready in the 4.1 release, which is currently PA-DSS certified. With the 4.1 release, support for the various processors and payment devices is included. With Brink POS and EMV, there is a complete removal of any credit card processing from the Brink system. Integrated payment options take the POS out of scope in order to remain PCI compliant. The cardholder’s data will never enter the POS and the devices use point to point encryption. Integrated payment options simplify payments. They help ease the integration of almost any new payment technology, vastly reducing the scope, time and expense of compliance and recertification. PIXELPOINT As a global product, PixelPoint has supported EMV for 10+ years throughout Europe, Canada, and Australia. The PixelPoint U.S. strategy involves a shift to “out of scope” payment integrations. Working with Datacap Systems to utilize their NETePAY software, PixelPoint will work with most major processors and associated devices. Many of PixelPoint’s Value Added Resellers (VAR’s) also have long-standing relationships with Datacap Systems and the NETePAY software, making the transition to EMV as seamless as possible. Enhancements to the PixelPoint POS software are being made on an ongoing basis to provide a fully integrated, secure and paperless (if desired) experience for both customers and merchants. Visit the Datacap Systems website (https:/www.datacapsystems.com/ emv-transition) for more information on Datacap EMV supported processors and certified devices. PixelPoint currently has verified EMV processing with Mercury (VANTIV Integrated Payments), First Data, TSYS, Sterling, Heartland, and VANTIV with further testing ongoing.

How to reduce the risk of card present fraud When the card is present at the point of sale, take a good look at the card to ensure that it is genuine. Ensure that you maintain possession of the card until the transaction has been completed. Check Card Details • Does the card appear genuine? Is the embossing clear and even and does the printing look professional? • Check the front and back to ensure the card contains: - Card Issuer’s logo - Cardholder name - Card number - Expiry date - Signature - CVV2/CVC2 – The 3 digit value located on or near the signature panel of the credit card. - Hologram (should appear three-dimensional and change colour when tilted), • If the customer is paying with a foreign-issued card and using a signature rather than a PIN, check the cardholder’s signature on the receipt against the actual credit card • Check expiration dates on all credit cards. Never accept an expired credit card. • Ensure the number embossed on the front of the card matches the truncated number on the receipt. • Does the name match the customer? For example: does the gender of the presenter match the salutation of the name printed on the card? Ask for photo identification to confirm details if suspicious.
