Gilbarco Veeder-Root has announced the successful processing of the

Gilbarco’s Passport POS solution is the first POS in the US to
process forecourt EMV transactions, leveraging FlexPay™ CRINDS from
Gilbarco. Gilbarco expects forecourt EMV payments to quickly
begin turning on across the country at the large installed base of
FlexPay CRINDS as the software is released for payment networks
throughout the year, and as fraud migrates to less secure payment
points and security-conscious customers migrate to those sites with
enhanced security. The Passport POS system has supported EMV
in-store transactions since May 2016. With simple software
upgrades, Passport sites can be easily configured and enabled for
full EMV transactions at the dispenser for all major card
types.
“Gilbarco is proud to continue to lead the market on EMV
technologies, both inside the store and at the dispenser. Our
customers are looking to enable EMV at the dispenser as soon as
possible, to provide the security their customers expect of them,
and to get the most of the forecourt EMV hardware investments
they’ve already made,” said Mark Williams, Vice President of
Marketing, Gilbarco Veeder-Root.
Kamlesh Patel, owner of the 49 Fuels site processing the first
US forecourt EMV transaction was eager to enable EMV at the
forecourt, stating, “Our dispensers were already EMV-ready, so
turning on EMV at the dispenser just required a simple Passport
software upgrade. We’ve seen our customers rapidly become
accustomed to paying with their chip cards inside the store on our
Passport system, and they are quickly expecting to be able to use
their chip card at the dispenser, as they know that it gives them
additional security.”
