1. Identify Your Terminal Model

FAQs

Does my terminal need an upgrade?

All PCI 3.X devices must be upgraded before 30 June 2024. Check the Device Register on the Payments NZ website here. Or get in touch with our team and we'll check your terminal for you. If you're an Eftpos NZ customer you don't do anything. Your terminal is either already compliant, or we'll be in touch about upgrading you well ahead of the deadline.

Why do I need to upgrade my terminal?

Every payment device is assigned a sunset date. This ensures that the whole payments ecosystem is kept at the forefront of payments security by continuously updating payment technology to meet new industry standards.

Why should I upgrade now? Can't I just wait until June?

There are still thousands of PCI 3.X devices in the market. We recommend upgrading ASAP to avoid delays caused by high demand closer to the deadline. After June 30, your PCI 3.X device is at risk of disconnection from the payment network.

Can I purchase a new terminal instead of leasing one?

If you prefer to own your device we can sell you an Android device that will remain compliant until at least 2029.
