Coming to a store near you: Chip and Pin cards

SAN FRANCISCO – As people resolve to change habits with the New Year, one habit that they won’t have a choice about changing is “swipe” versus “dip” when paying by card at retailers across the country, as the United States embraces EMV or “chip and PIN” cards.

However, as a recent article in USA Today points out, the PIN part of "chip and PIN" is something of a misnomer. In the rest of the world, when people buy with a credit card, they dip their card in the reader and then input a personal identification number, similar to an ATM.

The company was started by Hubert and Mabel Beal in 1971 and has been family owned and operated since then through three generations.

How did you hear of Triple E?
We met some of the staff at the PACE convention in Kansas City a few years ago.

What did you use before Triple E?
Prior to Triple E, we had been using the Ruby-Verifone POS system.

How are the products and services working for you?
We are in a rural area and have a lot of in-house charging. We have really liked Triple E’s platform for local customer charge accounts. Probably the thing we have been most impressed with is the customer service provided by Triple E; they have been very helpful. We have always gotten prompt help on any issues we have had.

(Hardware) Featured Product – Ingenico iSC Touch 250 Pinpad (EMV Ready) 

The EMV liability shift this October 2015 is drawing closer and will forever change the payment landscape. Merchants and retailers across the U.S. are preparing for the shift, but many still have questions around EMV, and how it impacts the POS.
Interact with your customers in ways that were never before possible with our sleek new Ingenico iSC Touch 250 – the fast, secure PCI PTS V4.0 approved payment solution that energizes your brand and loyalty-building programs.
