Software/PCI Compliance/EMV  

Phillips 66 recommends that EPOS software be maintained to the most current update or at minimum must run an approved version listed on Phillips 66 Gateway.  53.40+ software is certified to the new PCI SSF standard and can be used by the sites to support their PCI compliance requirements. Software updates may require additional hardware updates and/or a technician visit to complete the upgrade and configurations. Completing hardware upgrades for Outside EMV remain as a marketer/site choice, however, the EMV liability for all chargebacks did shift to all sites on April 16, 2021.    

As previously communicated, all Commander versions older than v53.40 were considered “expired software” as of June 30, 2023 and must be upgraded. Sites running expired software are subject to non-compliance fees, and are not eligible for software troubleshooting and support. Please take action to upgrade this software immediately.  

Hardware End-of-Sale/End-of-Life Reminder   

Verifone has announced plans to stop sales on Ruby 2, Ruby Ci, Topaz 410, and Mx915 PINpad hardware mid-2023 with 3 years of support for any of these components. Sites purchasing new hardware should consider the Verifone C18 as the go forward hardware platform from Verifone for new installations.  Contact Verifone or your Verifone Service Provider with questions or for more information.
