How to check if your EFTPOS terminal is PCI 4.X

Written by EFTPOS NZ | Wednesday, September 3, 2025

 The 30 April 2026 deadline for PCI 4.X EFTPOS terminals has passed. Payments NZ has confirmed that any remaining devices on this standard are non-compliant and subject to disconnection from the network. If you're unsure whether your terminal is affected, here's how to check. 

Step 1. Find your terminal model

Look at your EFTPOS machine to identify the brand and model number. Check the front of the device for a logo or printed model name.If it’s not visible, turn the terminal over and check the label or sticker on the back or underside.

Step 2. Check if your terminal is affected

Go to the Payments NZ Device Register and search your model. This register shows whether your terminal is compliant or due to expire. We’ve also created a handy checklist you can download. It lists all PCI 4.X devices in New Zealand that must be upgraded before April 2026.

 

 

 

Step 3. Contact your terminal provider immediately

If your device is on the list, contact your provider now. Don't wait — businesses that haven't yet upgraded risk having their terminal disconnected before a replacement is installed.
