Visa to chop old-style credit cards

Visa has announced it will move to chip cards for all its credit cards from next month.

Visa’s country manager Sean Preston said all 2.6 million Visa credit cards issued in New Zealand with a magnetic swipe strip will be replaced with the more secure chip cards within four years.

Retailers will have until June 1st next year to upgrade to chip-capable payment terminals, in time for the start of the Rugby World Cup. This means upgrading from software version 5.1. There are currently over 70,000 terminals in New Zealand that require this upgrade.

Once your terminal has been upgraded, you will need to know how to process chip card transactions. If you need assistance with this, view our handy instruction videos on You Tube.

If you are unsure if your terminal will require an upgrade, please check our countdown page or give us a call at Viaduct on 0800 484 238.

GPRS Outage

Dear Viaduct customers,

On Thursday 24th March at 1.30am, Vodafone will be enforcing a half an hour GPRS outage for those on their network. This will affect businesses using VX670 GPRS terminals.

Your eftpos terminal may be offline during this half hour window. If you experience any issues, please restart your terminal. If this solution is not successful, it will be remedied after 2am.

We appreciate your patience with this.

Thank you,

The team at Viaduct

A helping hand for Haiti

Here at Viaduct, we promised to donate $5 for every 10 eftpos paper rolls we sold in February to the Haiti earthquake relief fund.

We are happy to report, thanks to the support of our valued customers, we have donated $1000 to helping rebuild the country devastated by the 7.3 magnitude earthquake.

A huge thank you to everyone who bought paper rolls from us in February! You have helped to provide essential supplies to a community greatly in need.

A little bit of inspiration

The next time you feel defeated at something, stop to think of Graeme Collett of Colletts Panel & Paint in Cambridge, a Viaduct customer, who recently completed his 2nd Ironman competition!

When Graeme decided to enter his first Ironman at 58 years young, he could not swim - a crucial element in the Ironman challenge. After a year of persevering with a personal trainer, Graeme could proudly say he had beaten the odds!

What dedication. Congratulations Graeme!

And the winner is…

Every week for the month of March, Viaduct will be giving away $100 worth of Telecom credit for a new customer signed up in that week.

What a great incentive to lease eftpos through Viaduct. (Aside from the great service, fantastic product range and 24/7 technical support!)

The winner from last week is Northcote Garage in Christchurch. Congratulations Ian!
