Our fuel pumps will be upgraded internally to be Europay-Mastercard-Visa (EMV) compliant, which should make them operational, and hopefully avoid the frequent problems we have experienced in the past.

 

What does that mean for our members? You will be able to use your newer credit cards, the ones using “chip” technology. Using the old cards with a magnetic stripe makes it easy for someone to steal your credit card information. You may have heard of instances where someone will hide a credit card “skimmer” on a pump so that they can copy your info. The new EMV technology (“chip”) is intended to greatly increase the security of credit card transactions.

 

When is it happening? We ordered the parts, but we have not been given an ETA. We will update you as soon as we know more.
