Protecting PIN pads and POS equipment
Reputation is everything, so
understandably, you want your customers’ shopping
experience to be a pleasant one.
Interac Association has one of the most secure networks
in the world. The “Protect Your PIN Pads”
campaign is the Association’s most recent initiative to
keep the services secure and help protect merchants and cardholders
from fraud.
Here’s how you can help protect your PIN pads (and POS
terminals):
- Inspect your POS equipment regularly. If
anything looks unfamiliar, appears altered or is missing,
immediately notify TD Merchant Services.
- Check ceilings, walls or shelves near PIN
pads on your premises for holes that could conceal a small
camera.
- When not in use, place the PIN pad under
the counter or out of customers’ reach (but do not
unplug).
- At night, lock up your PIN pad and POS
terminals.
Whatever your business, protect your PIN pads and POS
terminals.
