East Providence, RI: In the United States, we have seen an increasing number of gas stations moving to EMV-compliant POS systems in the past few weeks. Many fuel pump owners transitioned after the final EMV deadline of April 17, 2021, which exposed them to financial liability for fraudulent transactions. However, several gas stations are still using the old, unsecured systems due to financial constraints and lack of availability of POS systems service providers. John W Kennedy Co., a leading gas station equipment provider, strives to help gas stations become EMV compliant.

The company is helping the gas station owners upgrade their POS systems and become EMV-compliant to avoid costly chargebacks. The reputable petroleum equipment and gas station supplies provider has advised gas station owners to switch to EMV-compliant card readers for years. They partnered with EMV forecourt and POS technology leaders to make it more accessible for fuel pump owners. Speaking about the costly chargebacks in case of non-compliance, a representative of the company stated:

“We have been warning gas station owners to transition to EMV-compliant system for many years. The EMV deadlines have been delayed multiple times, but now it’s over. It’s important to realize that exposure to financial liability due to a fraudulent transaction can significantly affect a gas station’s bottom line. EMV is a safe technology that ensures secure transactions. Therefore, perpetrators are now actively targeting gas stations with outdated systems to carry out fraud, putting these vulnerable gas stations at a greater risk.”
