Update: Verifone PCI 3 Guidance and Discontinuance Notification

Verifone have extended the life of the VX range of devices through to 2026. Although these units can longer be purchased, support will be continued for those out in the field. 

Verifone Vx820 & Vx680 – P2PE extension.

PCI-DSS, PCI-POI, PCI-PTS, PCI-P2PE

Verifone have extended the service and support of these devices through to April 2026 with a renewed accreditation of the P2PE certification. This update supersedes the statement previously released stating an April 2023 end date. Verifone will now continue support for swap outs*, the P2PE accreditation, plus any critical security updates through to April 2026.

All Gladstone supplied PEDs use Verifone PAYware Ocius.

PCI PTS level 4 or above is still the recommended version. However, the PCI counsel has not issued a mandate/notice for removal of level 3 devices from service. As such, you can continue using these PEDs until such notice is given. We would suggest checking with your acquirer to investigate any potential restrictions they may have chosen to adopt with these level 3 devices.

Verifone are currently impacted by the global shortage of chip sets caused by the pandemic, which has had an impact on global supply availability of the level 5 PED solution. Gladstone are working with Verifone to forecast and secure stock, and as such we are also working on a new range of Level 6 + PEDS to deploy & integrate.

Please contact your account manager to discuss future PED requirements.

*Please note that this is dependent on availability of spare parts.
