ARGOS implements VeriFone system in the UK
Argos has announced that it has implemented one of the largest card payment systems offered by VeriFone. The system, which is known as the PAYware Merchant solution, is part of Argos’ move to EMV Chip and PIN and will also enable the company to enjoy management and reporting capabilities, including an audit trail. Commenting on the step, the head of Argos’ IT, said: “We saw the move to Chip and PIN as an opportunity to review our existing EFT system. As a business-critical system, we were looking for a card payment solution that offered security, speed and reliability. We chose PAYware because of its proven success with other retailers, and the smooth implementation and fast ‘go live’ confirmed that we made the right decision.”
