MARSHALL, Mich. -- Walters-Dimmick Petroleum Inc. is installing Gilbarco FlexPay Encrypting PIN Pads at its 75 Shell-branded locations across southwestern Michigan, northern Indiana and northern Ohio. The hardware is Payment Card Industry Encrypting PIN Pad (PCI EPP) compliant. It provides Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) encryption of the Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) entered by consumers during debit card transactions at the pumps.
"Acting early allowed us to save money. We could properly plan the retrofit program, take advantage of incentives available under [image-nocss] the Shell Technology Incentive Program (TIP) and use readily-available local labor resources to handle the installations before increased demand drives their prices up closer to the deadline," said Terry Dale, maintenance director at of Marshall, Mich.-based Walters-Dimmick. "We have been very pleased with the FlexPay EPP retrofits."
"The modular design allows seamless integration to Gilbarco dispensers, preserving the dispensers' approvals and warranties," said Mike Decker, corporate service manager for R.W. Mercer, the Gilbarco Veeder-Root distributor and authorized service contractor that managed the rollout. "Gilbarco FlexPay EPP is also backwards compatible to existing point-of-sale systems and requires no wiring changes."
All dispensers that accept debit must be PCI compliant by July 1, 2010.
"Gilbarco is actively involved with all customers to plan their upgrade process to meet PCI compliance at the pump," said Scott McDowell, director of marketing for dispenser applications at Gilbarco Veeder-Root. "Key customers are scheduling upgrades today to avoid a more costly upgrade later."
Greensboro, N.C.-based Gilbarco Veeder-Root is a leading supplier of outdoor payment systems, integrated fuel control, site management and support services for petroleum marketers and commercial fueling enterprises worldwide.
