Customer Alert
Intermittent Interac Debit Chip-and-PIN card purchase declines
We are aware an issue with some VeriFone terminals is causing customers of select Financial Institutions and Credit Unions to receive declines when making a purchase with their OEP-enabled Interac Debit chip-and PIN card at certain merchants. VeriFone is currently working to rectify the issue.
It is important to note that this is not a card issue, but is an issue with terminals at the point-of-sale. The issue is not impacting all Interac Debit chip-and-PIN cardholders, all merchants, or all terminals. The Interac Debit systems are working normally for all cardholders at non-impacted VeriFone terminals, and effected cardholders can still use their Interac Flash enabled card or device to complete an eligible transaction.
