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.
