Choosing the right payment terminal is a crucial decision for your business. Among the many options available on the Canadian market, Verifone payment terminals stand out as a must-have reference. Whether you run a restaurant, a retail outlet or a salon, understanding why Verifone dominates the payment solutions industry will help you make an informed choice for your point of sale.
Why choose a Verifone payment terminal?
Verifone has been a world leader in the payment terminal industry for over 40 years. The brand equips millions of points of sale around the world, and has established itself as the benchmark for reliability and innovation. In Canada, Verifone terminals are particularly appreciated for their ability to handle high transaction volumes while maintaining optimal performance.
Global Payments, as a leading payment processor handling 66 billion transactions annually, offers the full range of Verifone terminals. Through Geasy Pay, official reseller in Quebec, you benefit not only from Verifone technology, but also from French-language technical support and rates up to 20% lower than traditional financial institutions.
#1: exceptional strength and durability
Professional-quality construction
Verifone payment terminals are renowned for their rugged construction that stands up to the most demanding commercial environments. Unlike other terminals, which can show signs of wear and tear after just a few months of intensive use, Verifone devices are designed to last for years, even under the toughest conditions. The reinforced casing protects internal components from impact, accidental drops and daily wear and tear. This robustness is particularly appreciated in restaurants where the payment terminal is constantly being handled by different waiters, or in retail outlets with high transaction volumes.
Resistance to demanding environments
Whether your business is located in a damp, dusty or temperature-challenged environment, Verifone terminals maintain their performance. Models are tested to operate in extreme conditions, ensuring that your point of sale is never paralyzed by equipment failure. This durability translates into a superior return on investment. While a standard payment terminal may require replacement after 2-3 years, a Verifone terminal can easily serve your business for 5-7 years with minimal maintenance. For companies looking to optimize their operational costs, this longevity represents substantial savings.
#2: state-of-the-art technology and maximum safety
Bank-level encryption
Transaction security is paramount in payment processing. Verifone payment terminals incorporate the industry’s most advanced encryption technologies, compliant with the strictest PCI DSS standards. Every transaction is protected by end-to-end encryption, ensuring that your customers’ sensitive data remains totally secure.
EMV chip technology ensures that every card payment is authenticated, reducing the risk of counterfeit fraud to virtually zero. This protection benefits both your company and your customers, creating a climate of trust that’s essential for building customer loyalty.
Advanced NFC contactless payment
The Verifone terminals offered by Global Payments support the latest NFC 15 standard, enabling them to accept all types of contactless payment. Your customers can pay with their contactless card, their phone via Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay, or even their connected watch.
Contactless payment now accounts for 48% of in-store transactions in Canada. This trend continues to grow, particularly since the pandemic, when consumers have massively embraced this fast, hygienic method of payment. A Verifone terminal puts you at the forefront of this payment revolution, offering your customers the modern experience they expect.
Automatic updates and scalability
One of the often overlooked major advantages of Verifone terminals is their ability to receive automatic software updates. Your payment terminal is always up to date with the latest security features and new payment methods, without any intervention on your part.
This scalability ensures that your investment in a Verifone terminal remains relevant for many years to come. As the payments industry continues to innovate with technologies such as biometrics and facial recognition payments, your Verifone terminal will be able to integrate these features via simple software upgrades.
#3: exceptional transaction speed
Ultra-fast payment processing
In a commercial environment where every second counts, the processing speed of Verifone terminals makes all the difference. Contactless transactions are processed in 2-3 seconds, while chip payments take just 8-12 seconds. This speed surpasses most competing terminals on the market.
For a restaurant during the lunchtime rush, this difference of a few seconds per transaction can translate into the ability to serve 10-15 extra customers per hour. For a retail business, it means shorter queues and more satisfied customers. The speed of your payment terminal has a direct impact on your sales and customer satisfaction.
Reduced waiting times
Studies show that 67% of customers abandon a purchase if the queue is too long. With a Verifone terminal, you can dramatically reduce waiting times at checkout, minimizing abandonment and maximizing sales. The smooth, fast checkout experience also helps to improve the overall perception of your business.
The intuitive interface of Verifone terminals also enables your employees to process transactions more efficiently. Less time spent handling the terminal means more time devoted to customer service and sales.
#4: full compatibility and easy integration
Universal payment acceptance
Verifone payment terminals accept all types of cards and payment methods used in Canada. Interac debit cards, Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, contactless payments, mobile wallets – nothing is left out. This universal compatibility ensures that you’ll never turn away a customer because of an unsupported payment method.
The Interac machine integrated into Verifone terminals can accept direct debit payments, the preferred payment method of 70% of Canadians. As Interac transaction fees are generally lower than credit card fees, this compatibility contributes directly to reducing your operational costs.
Integration with POS systems
Verifone terminals integrate seamlessly with most pos systems on the market. Whether you use a restaurant POS system with table management and order dispatch to the kitchen, or a retail POS system with inventory management, the Verifone terminal connects seamlessly to your existing infrastructure.
This integration enables automatic synchronization of transactions, eliminating manual input errors and simplifying your accounting. Consolidated sales reports give you a clear view of your business, facilitating strategic decision-making for your company.
Global Payments also offers open APIs enabling developers to create customized integrations. If you have specific needs or use particular business software, your Verifone terminal can be configured to fit perfectly with your workflow.
