Can I use my existing processing equipment with Luminous Payments?
In most cases the answer is yes. It depends mostly on 2 factors:
- The age of your existing equipment and whether it can support today’s increased security measures, such as being able to process Credit and Debit Cards that are equipped with EMV chips. EMV stands for Europay, Mastercard and Visa. Each time an EMV chipped credit card is used, the EMV chip creates a unique (one-of-a-kind) code for each credit card transaction to help prevent Fraud.
- Whether or not your equipment is proprietary to your current processor.
Speak with your Account Representative about your existing credit card processing equipment, so they can verify whether we can reprogram it.
