Chip And Pin Transactions - VeriFone VX-670 series User Manual

Chip and PIN Transactions

Transaction processing in the UK is predominantly Chip and PIN. Using this method of
payment it is possible to utilise technology to provide major security enhancements helPINg in
the fight against fraud. You the merchant should always endeavour to process a transaction
via Chip and PIN whenever and wherever possible.
Due to the nature of the processing the Card has a much greater say in the processing and
ultimately authorisation of the transaction, please be aware that it is not just the Host (bank)
as before with Swiped and Keyed transactions that is controlling the process. The Chip on the
customer's card holds vital information and is an integral part of all Chip and PIN transactions.
