SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Technology provider Verifone has obtained EMV certification for its site-level fuel controller with payment processor First Data.
The company announced that its Commander Site Controller is now certified for Europay MasterCard Visa (EMV) acceptance with Atlanta-based First Data’s Rapid Connect processing solution, which will expedite deployment of in-store EMV payment systems with First Data.
“Commander Site Controller simplifies all aspects of convenience-store and retail-petroleum operations management,” said Dan Yienger, senior vice president and general manager of petroleum for Verifone, San Jose, Calif. “Certification with First Data’s solution, which streamlines application testing, certification and delivery, enables Commander to further reduce complexity for gas stations and convenience stores by providing a speedier path to in-store EMV acceptance and simplifying their ability to keep payment systems up-to-date with EMV software updates.”
In recent weeks, the issue of EMV certification has made headlines, as U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin issued two separate letters to the Federal Trade Commission and the EMV standard’s governing body, Foster City, Calif.-based EMVCo, inquiring about delays in the process that may be costing retailers thousands of dollars in increased chargebacks.
