VeriFone Releases PCCharge Version 5.8.2

VeriFone releases version 5.8.2 of PCCharge, its PC-based payment processing solution perfectly suited for standalone or integrated environments. PCCharge version 5.8.2 includes the following updates:  

• Added support for the First Data North-Nashvile (FDNN) payment processing network: PAYware PC's certifications with FDNN include credit, debit (retail/restaurant), and EBT for retail, MOTO, e-commerce, and restaurant transactions via TCP/IP SSL or dial/modem connectivity.
• Added support for the SVS with IP/SSL Connectivity (SVSI) payment processing network: PAYware PC's certifications with SVSI include twelve transaction types (redemption, reload, merchandise return, etc.) transmitted via TCP/IP SSL connectivity. 
• Added new certifications for eight existing payment processing networks: PAYware PC's certifications with FDMS Atlanta (BPAS), FDMS North (CES), Fifth Third (BPS), Givex (GVEX), Heartland Payment Systems (HPTS), RBS WorldPay (LYNK), Tandem (NPC), and TSYS Acquiring Solutions (VISA) have been expanded to provide the user with various new features and functions.      
• Added support for Givex SKU Loyalty via integration: PAYware PC now supports Givex's  SKU (Stock-Keeping Unit) Loyalty Program via integration, capturing additional data during each transaction. This information allows POS developers to offer their merchants the ability to track customer items and provide incentives for repeat purchases.      
• Added the ability to process FSA/HRA transactions: Recent initiatives from the IRS will require many businesses to have the ability to process FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) transactions. These new initiatives provide consumers with greater spending flexibility and reduced paperwork, while also giving merchants the ability to increase customer loyalty and consistently identify FSA/HRA cards. PCCharge processing companies with FSA/HRA support added: First Data North-Nashville (FDNN), FDMS Atlanta (BPAS), and RBS WorldPay (LYNK).  
• Expanded the Discover IIN Range: Increases the available BIN range for Discover cards to include 644000-649999.
