Credit Card Terminal News & Updates
Keeping Up With Technology
As with all technology based industries, the processing industry also must grow and change with security and compliance requirements. Credit card terminals, like any digital product or software based system has a lifespan. Over time hardware in credit card terminals can become obsolete, or the core software becomes outdated and isn’t compatible with new security protocols or newer processing software.
Meanwhile, manufacturers create new lines of credit card terminals with new options and features to adapt to an ever changing industry. At some point, the processors have to make a decision of when to let go of the older models and concentrate their security implementations and software on newer models. In the process, creating an “End of Life/End of Help Desk Support” for older credit card terminals as newer terminals are certified by the processors. We created this terminal news & updates page to help you keep up with coming changes to your credit card processing .
