Terminals


All of our terminals are in full compliance with Visa & MasterCard truncation regulations. Nurit terminals allow us the ability to truncate YOUR copy of the receipt if you feel that this option is necessary. Some merchants simply do not want to display any of this information due to customer hesitance.

However, as the merchant, YOU are entitled to have all of the cardholder’s information to include:
  • Full card number
  • Expiration Date
  • Customer name


  • This information is very important to you in case of any chargeback issue. It simply helps you to locate the necessary information needed to substantiate your case.

    Older terminals that provide a carbonless copy, require full truncation which means that YOUR copy is missing valuable information.

    All terminals offered for sale at schmooze inc. are fully guaranteed for 1 year from the time of installation. This guarantee covers all possible failures, (new or refurbished) EXCEPT for an act of Nature. REPLACEMENT OF THE TERMINAL WILL OCCUR WITHIN 24 HOURS.

    All terminals will perform the basic tasks of processing, but each terminal has its own specific features and sometimes its own inadequacies. We like to offer a variety of terminals to fit YOUR particular solution, at various price points.

    That being said, we would like to explain why the VeriFone Nurit series is our equipment of choice:
  • Can handle up to 8 separate business activities on the terminal.
  • You can customize your header or trailer anytime you want: brand your logo, advertise weekly specials and offer a discount for subsequent visits if they bring back the receipt.


  • Additionally, you can print various reports to help you manage and understand your business:
  • Reconcile your credit , debit & cash totals for the last 60 days
  • Review your voids.
  • View daily totals by card type, transaction or server.
  • You can even run a history report to check credit vs. debit sales.


  • All of this can be accomplished right at the terminal with no extra costs or software involved. All changes are handled through the terminal itself, and you control the content you want to see.

    Of course if you want to upgrade your equipment to allow for different technologies, all Nurit terminals operate the same and reports are exactly what you have been used to.

    Please give us a call to discuss our terminal pricing. You will be pleasantly surprised, how affordable these terminals are.

    Truncation Laws
    Receipts that include full account numbers and expiration dates are a gold mine for identity thieves. There are many questions and concerns about the truncation law that all merchants must be following at this point in time. Here is a recap regarding this very important law

    FACTA, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (Federal Regulation) states:
  • Receipts for credit and debit card transactions may not include more than the last five digits of the card number or the expiration date. Key dates for the implementation of this ACT: July 1, 2003
  • All newly programmed or reprogrammed terminals need to be truncated
  • Compliant, July 1, 2006
  • All new and existing terminals must be compliant immediately.


  • Account truncation rules do not apply to handwritten or manually imprinted receipts, nor does it apply to the merchant’s copy of the receipt. In some point-of-sale product configurations, such as restaurant applications, the merchants’ copy may be used to re-enter transactions that may be lost during a power outage or equipment failure. The current fines for not Truncating are:
  • 1st Violation $5,000
  • 2nd Violation $10,000
  • 3rd Violation $25,000
  • 4th Violation $50,000
  • Willful or Egregious Violation $500,000/month


  • These are just the Visa/MasterCard penalties; there are federal and state penalties that may also be collected. State penalties can vary, but can be up to $10,000 per transaction and can have felony charges associated with them. All it takes is one dissatisfied customer or credit card company agent to report a non truncating establishment and the business can be penalized and shut down, and the merchant may be placed on the terminated merchant file, which will prevent them from accepting any credit cards in the future.

    The following terminals are no longer supported by Visa/MasterCard:
  • Talento line of terminals
  • Verifone Zon Jr.
  • Verifone Zon Jr. XL
  • Linkpoint 4000
  • POS 50
  • POS 500


  • Many credit card companies have not appropriately informed their customers about the laws and regulations of credit card truncation. But they have to adhere to Visa/MasterCard regulations associated with credit card truncation. They have no choice but to disable any terminals that will not provide credit card truncation. Many terminals can be programmed to truncate IF you are signed up with the correct processor. If you have any questions regarding you r current equipment, please call us to see how we can insure that you are compliant with all current and future regulations.
