IMPENDING LIABILITY SHIFT

Harbortouch will use Verifone’s VX 520 countertop payment terminal in combination with the VX 805 PIN pad to accommodate EMV and contactless NFC payments. This solution provides merchants with an easy migration path to EMV as the mandated liability shift approaches. These Verifone terminal solutions also accommodate emerging NFC payment types such as Apple Pay.

“With the impending EMV liability shift and new NFC payment types emerging, it is critical for merchants to begin accepting these payment types,” said Harbortouch CEO Jared Isaacman. “After comparing various next-generation terminals, we felt that Verifone offers the most capable and secure solution for our merchant customers.”

Harbortouch currently handles merchant accounts for more than 110,000 business locations and processes in excess of $9 billion annually.

FUTURE-PROOFED PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE

“By partnering with Verifone, Harbortouch is able to provide its merchant clients with a future-proof terminal solution backed by more than 30 years of payment innovation and expertise,” said Shan Ethridge, vice president and general manager, North America Financial Services Group, Verifone. “The VX 520 is an incredibly reliable device that supports emerging payment methods that are growing in demand amongst consumers, as well as applications that can add more value to the POS, while the VX 805 is a stylish and sleek customer-facing PIN pad that is easy to hand over to consumers for card acceptance and PIN entry.”
