RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Discover Global Network (DGN), which includes Discover Network, PULSE
and Diners Club International, announced today that it is extending the
U.S. EMV fraud liability shift date for automated fuel dispensers to be
chip-enabled from October 2017 to October 2020.
DGN continues to deploy its EMV solution, D-Payment Application
Specification (D-PAS), around the world. Since the announcement of our
EMV FLS policy effective dates, the U.S. petroleum industry has
encountered distinct challenges updating their automated fuel
dispensers, including complex hardware and technology upgrades, as well
as infrastructure updates at fuel pumps.
DGN will assist fuel merchants, acquirers, VARs, and other vendors and
suppliers to deploy, install and certify D-PAS at automated fuel
dispensers. DGN remains committed to ensuring a smooth transition to
chip technology for stakeholders and helping to provide a more secure
and seamless experience for customers at the pump.
The extended effective date for the EMV fraud liability shift for fuel
merchants is another example of DGN’s long standing commitment to
support and streamline processes for merchants, processors and acquirers
in the U.S. EMV migration. DGN will continue to work closely with
merchants and acquirers to help mitigate fraud.
DGN offers programs that continue to deliver value, such as streamlining
certification initiatives by enabling multiple service providers and
promoting self-certification through our Acquirer Managed Terminal
Certification program and dedicated support for VARs, ISOs, ISVs and
gateways.
DGN also created the EMV Resource Center to further support merchants,
acquirers, issuers and VARs, which offers resources and materials to
educate and train merchants, employees and customers on the use of chip
cards. Customized tools and training, including technical workshops are
also available.
