EMV Certified Payment Solution Now Available for Fuel Wholesale and Cardlock Operations

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 6, 2012 - Biggar, Saskatchewan, September 2012 -- Rack Petroleum Ltd., an independent supplier of fuel, fertilizer, custom application and agronomy services, is proud to announce the successful completion of EMV Certification for "chip and pin" credit and debit payment at its self-serve 24 hour cardlock.

This certification for fuel dispensers is a significant achievement led by RMS Solutions, a developer and integrator of world class fuel management solutions, in conjunction with: Tender Retail, a leading provider of software interfaces between point-of-sale systems and payment processors; Keller Equipment Supply Ltd., a trusted vendor of quality petroleum and industrial equipment; Progressive International Electronics, whose patented technology and products control and monitor petroleum operations around the world; and Global Payments Inc., one of North America’s leading payment processors.

EMV (Europay, MasterCard, VISA) is a global standard for the inter-operation of integrated circuit cards (IC cards or "chip cards") and IC card capable point-of-sale terminals and ATMs for the secure authentication of credit and debit card transactions.  This standard is being phased in around the world as a requirement by card brands and their issuers to provide a higher level of security and authentication of the card holder during the transaction.

"I’m pleased to provide our valued customers with the convenience of 24 hour fuelling combined with the payment security now possible with chip and pin technology" said Lynn Strate, Rack CFO. "We will extend this system across all of our locations and continue to offer the most up to date range of services aimed at making our customers successful in their farming business."

Added Jim Yelle, RMS President, "this EMV fuel management solution has great flexibility and can be tailored to a wide variety of business requirements such as fuel retailing, marinas, airports and private cardlocks. It uniquely manages all dispenser brands and configurations, as well as conventional and alternative fuels, all on one system. It offers EMV pay-at-the-pump, as well as commercial and private fleet payment options. And, it’s integrated with the leading point-of-sale and ERP systems."
