With the EMV (chip based credit and debit cards) Liability Shift Date coming up quickly (October 1st, 2015 in the United States), I wanted to pass along some important information for former customers of DirectPOS (RVP Business Systems) who formally sold and serviced cash registers and point of sale systems out of offices in Boise, Idaho, Salt Lake City, Utah and Spokane, Washington.
If you happen to be a former customer of DirectPOS or RVP Business Systems, you likely have questions related to making sure that your cash register or point of sale hardware and software is ready for the EMV Liability Shift Date. I have made arrangements with multiple trustworthy companies to help you determine what, if anything, you need to do related to your current equipment and EMV.
Even better, these companies will offer you a special discount related to any costs you may incur. Because this involves multiple different types of hardware and software, as well as over 3000 different businesses and organizations, you need to
contact me for more information.
Here are the systems that qualify for the discounts:
- MICROS e7
- MICROS 3700
- Sam4S Cash Registers
- QuickBooks Point of Sale
- NCR Silver
- NCR CounterPoint SQL
- Microsoft RMS
- Microsoft HQ
- Microsoft POS 2007 or 2009
If your business is using one of the above systems, and resides in the states listed below, do
contact me for free advice and direction on what to do. I will also be reaching out to all of you as time permits.
- Idaho - ID
- Utah - UT
- Washington State - WA
- Oregon - OR
- Wyoming - WY
- Montana - MT
- Ohio - OH
- Minnesota - MN
- Iowa - IA
- Wisconsin - WI
- Louisiana - LA
- Texas - TX
- Florida - FL
- California - CA
The goal here is to make sure that the upcoming EMV Liability Shift Date catches no one by surprise.
