EMV READY<\/em> VS EMV CERTIFIED <\/em><\/h2>\n

Credit card terminals advertised as EMV Ready, EMV Capable or EMV Compliant are terminals that \u2018could\u2019<\/em> accept chip cards in the future<\/strong>. But, the terminal must be certified<\/span> to the processor. Due to the expense and time, not all terminals will be certified. If the terminal is driven by a POS application or payment gateway, both the solution and the terminal must be certified to each processor or merchant acquirer.<\/p>\n

Tip: Beware language like “this terminal will get you ready for EMV<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n
