@BenBajarin Ben, to be sure 99% small to medium merchants do not pay for payment card devices.
@BrianRoemmele sure but they did but can't take the fee hike.
@BenBajarin Ben, what sort of fee hike? None are associated with the EMV Oct provision.
@BrianRoemmele if they don't upgrade the systems.
@BenBajarin Ben, I hear ya. They just need to switch processing relationships. There are over 100,000 options for a no strings free device.
@BrianRoemmele for a restaraunt they need some handhelds too though right? To put pin in? Are those free?
@BenBajarin @BrianRoemmele US is not implementing PINs. So, no, they don't need that.
@maxrogo @BenBajarin Mark is 100% correct. The payment card devices are ~$150 wholesale and subsidized by nearly 100% of providers.
@BrianRoemmele @maxrogo it's good for NFC but I'm curious how not implement PIN helps security.
@BenBajarin @maxrogo Ben, the move by the U.S. to EMV was a compromise. speed and cost were a factor.
