AUSTIN, Texas -- Wayne Fueling Systems, a global provider of fuel dispensing, payment, automation and control technologies for retail and commercial fuel stations, has been certified by First Data to accept EMV credit-card and debit-card transactions.
First Data said it is at the forefront of EMV readiness as the company has been producing EMV-enabled cards and processing EMV transactions for years.
EMV is the global standard created by Europay, MasterCard and Visa to securely authenticate credit-card and debit-card transactions. To be compliant with payment network EMV requirements, fuel retailers are encouraged to upgrade indoor point-of-sale (POS) software and hardware by Oct. 2015, and outdoor pay-at-the-pump equipment by Oct. 2017.
The certification is for the Wayne Fusion site automation server, which is packaged with the Wayne NAMOS POS system and also can be applied to other third-party POS systems.
“We’re proud to be … certified by First Data and in the position to help our customers move to EMV technology and regulatory compliance,” said Wayne CEO Neil Thomas.
Atlanta-based First Data is a global leader in payment technology and services solutions. With 23,000 owner-associates and operations in 34 countries, the company provides secure payment technology and services to more than six million merchants and financial institutions around the world, from small businesses to large corporations.
