Discover extends EMV deadline for gas stations
RIVERWOODS - Discover Global Network, which includes Discover Network, PULSE and Diners Club International, announced it is extending the U.S. EMV fraud liability shift date for automated fuel dispensers to be chip-enabled from October 2017 to October 2020.
Discover continues to deploy its EMV solution, D-Payment Application Specification, around the world. Since the announcement of our EMV FLS policy effective dates, the U.S. petroleum industry has encountered distinct challenges updating their automated fuel dispensers, including complex hardware and technology upgrades, as well as infrastructure updates at fuel pumps.
Discover will assist fuel merchants, acquirers, VARs, and other vendors and suppliers to deploy, install and certify D-PAS at automated fuel dispensers. DGN remains committed to ensuring a smooth transition to chip technology for stakeholders and helping to provide a more secure and seamless experience for customers at the pump.
The extended effective date for the EMV fraud liability shift for fuel merchants is another example of Discover's long standing commitment to support and streamline processes for merchants, processors and acquirers in the U.S. EMV migration.
