INTRODUCTION

1.1

The CCV Smart payment terminal and PINpad

The CCV Smart system consists of the Vx570 payment terminal and the VX 820 PINpad. The CCV
Smart system allows you to process transactions with payment cards, loyalty cards and customer cards.
The payment terminal is future-proof and conforms to the latest national security standards as well as the
EMV standard. The EMV standard was developed by the credit card companies Europay, MasterCard,
Visa and JCB to prevent payment card fraud. The security of the transaction process is enhanced
because the payment terminal reads the EMV chip on the payment card, rather than a magnetic strip.
