Protect Your Business from Costly Chargebacks

We want to ensure your business stays protected from the rising wave of credit card fraud targeting retail stores.

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in fraud involving keyed (manually entered) credit card transactions. These transactions are not protected under EMV rules. That means:

If you manually enter a credit card number and the transaction is fraudulent, you are 100% liable and will receive a chargeback with no dispute rights.

This type of fraud is generally affecting cartons of cigarettes.

🚫 What NOT To Do

Do NOT manually key in credit cards for cigarette purchases or other high-risk products.

✅ What You MUST Do

Only accept EMV chip or contactless payments.

If the chip will not process, ask for another form of payment. Do not swipe or manually key in the card.
