Sorry to see you go old friend…

We’re sorry to see you go… In 2020, Verifone announced that their popular Verifone VX520 terminal was coming up on end of life. And as of November 2021, processors sunset the terminal, and ceased building new files. While this doesn’t mean the terminal will stop processing or is no longer secure, it does mean the clock is ticking. By April 2023, the terminal will be “end of service”, meaning it will cease functioning completely. In short, if you have a VX520 terminal, you’ll need a new terminal sometime this year. They are also now “unsupported”. This means if you have an issue with your terminal and you’re your processors help desk, in many cases the agent will tell you they cannot help you, and that you need to purchase a new terminal. So in addition to the cost (most processors will try to sell you a terminal for $400-500), there’s likely a looming business disruption as you’ll be unable to accept payments for a few days while a new terminal is deployed. Care to avoid all that? Like to save money on your credit card processing? And do you like personal service? At Merchant Solutions LLC, we’ll provide you a FREE upgrade to a new PCI Level 5 terminal, such as an FD-150, Pax A80 or Ingenico Z11, to name a few. It is yours to use at no additional cost for as long as you are processing with us. All with a no term contract.
