The Retail Minded POS Special Edition 

Shameless plug… but if you are looking to gain a stronger grasp on EMV, you won’t want to miss the details RICS Software shared in the recent Special Edition from Retail Minded. Available for free through the end of the year, you can get your copy here. 

Finally, as a general FYI, it’s always a good idea to reach out to your point of sale provider or merchant services provider if they haven’t already reached out to you regarding this important topic. October 2015 may seem far away, but it’s actually approaching fast… and if you don’t know this already, fines and fees will be applied to merchants who aren’t capable of accepting EMV cards. With this in mind, aren’t you ready to learn more? With the resources above, we hope you can confidently get ready for this pending deadline with ease – and dare we say it – satisfaction.
