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.
