Tender Retail is committed to providing the industry standard in flexibility and functionality throughout our Merchant Connect suite of products. The enhancements presented here are available to both Merchant Connect Multi and Merchant Connect Direct and ensure that our customers remain at the forefront in fraud protection and customer service.

EMV (Chip And PIN)

The new standard in card security and fraud prevention, EMV is the technology that supports the authentication of "smart" card transactions. Developed by Europay, MasterCard® & Visa®, EMV's greatest benefit is in the advantages it offers to both merchants and card holders:

• Increased fraud protection
• Reduced liability for chargebacks
• Global interoperability
• Increased efficiency and customer throughput
• Secure, cost effective transactions at offline and unattended locations
• Increased adoption of e-commerce transaction opportunities

To enable merchants to meet the precise requirements of EMV and PCI compliance, Tender Retail is now offering Merchant Connect EMV. Certified as EMV compliant, it’s available to Canadian retailers looking for a fast, easy and affordable launch to the next level of fraud prevention and customer satisfaction.

Of course, Tender Retail’s architectural design of this enhancement stays true to our mission statement:

Empowering merchants with flexible, cost-effective electronic payment solutions.

Regardless of your volume or infrastructure, you can realize the benefits of EMV integration. For more details, talk to your POS provider or contact Tender Retail today.

Contactless Payment

A huge leap in customer convenience that's also a significant advance in the ongoing battle against card fraud? Sounds like a win-win for merchants. Contactless payment technology allows consumers to tap or wave their chip-embedded card at a POS station and speed through the transaction.

Merchants across North America that incorporate this transaction alternative are perceived as market leaders. Tender Retail's Merchant Connect Contactless enhancement is the simple, cost-effective way to get there. Available as an option on both Merchant Connect Multi and Direct, this simple add-on utilizes an RFID-driven process, allowing customers to securely retain their card throughout the transaction, while merchants:

• Dramatically increase customer throughput
• Drive incremental sales
• Enhance customer loyalty
• Reduce cash handling costs

Particularly suited to high-volume environments such as:
