EMV Payment Solutions

Starting October 2015, most businesses are required to start accepting EMV credit and debit cards.

Many businesses are still in the process of updating their store checkouts to accept these new chip cards.

Merchants are investing in upgrading their POS systems to accept EMV. This investment will include the purchase of payment terminals, changes in the store’s POS software, and related PCI compliance certification costs.

The process is complex, time consuming and a major capital investment. Nucleus reduces complexity, accelerates upgrade process and minimizes investment to accept this new form of payment.
