Merchant Link is aware that many of our customers have received warning notifications from their acquirers regarding the Visa Purchase Return Authorization initiative (Online Returns). The original date to be compliant was 4/13/2019, however, Visa has published a revised compliance date of 10/19/2019. Over the past year, Merchant Link has been working with Visa and the acquirers to understand the details, potential penalties, changes required, and potential impacts to our merchant community of this initiative. Merchant Link would like to clarify what this initiative is and what it might mean for our customers. |

Security Cents BlogEMV Chip Technology VS Quick Chip TechnologyEvery day I'm asked about EMV and chip card security technology. It's my job... it's what I do. Recently I was asked for information to implement Quick Chip into a client's systems and it gave me a quick flash back to our past. Remember when you could walk into a store or restaurant, select your item and hand your card to the clerk? You didn't stop to think about what security was there - you just acted. Blind trust. Today, hackers and thieves have made it nearly impossible to "hand your card over" and both merchants and consumers are demanding that technology keep up with today's landscape. Merchants and consumers have a new level of expectation of what "being safe" means with regard to their payment cards. |
