Verifone Card Machine Models

 

Verifone offers numerous card machines in every category, including countertop, mobile and portable, pin pads, multimedia, and unattended POS. The option you choose should depend on your industry, how you sell to customers, and the access point for the specific location.

 


Countertop

 

Countertop card machines are ideal for retailers with physical stores but who do not need to carry the card machine to tables and customers. These are the ‘standard’ for card machines, and typically present in most retail stores.

Verifone Countertop

 


 

VX 820 Duet

 

The VX 820 Duet is Verifone’s flagship countertop card machine, featuring a 3.5″ colour touch screen, 500mb memory, and large backlit keypad. It’s also fully PCI DSS compliant, features PCI PTS 3.0 encryption, and accepts contactless payments.

Portable

 

Portable card machines are valuable for using inside of service industry and other areas where the point of sale moves to the customer within a set location. Verifone offers two models to retailers in the UK.

 


 

VX 680

 

The VX 680 features a 3.5″ colour LCD display with 192mb of memory, and Wifi or Bluetooth connectivity. The system is secured to PCI PTS 3.0 standards with a 7.2 V 1800mAH lithium-ion battery and charging dock.

Pin Pads

 

Pin Pads are lightweight, simple card machines with fewer features and therefore a lower purchase cost than countertop machines. Like countertop models, they are not always portable. However, unlike countertop models, Pin Pads do not come with a base, so are best for anyone who already has a POS but needs a pin pad.

 


 

VX 820

 

With a 3.5″ colour screen, 160mb of memory, and support for EMV, contactless, and NFC payments, the VX 820 is extremely close to the Duet countertop model. However, with less memory, the VX 820 is less able to stand on its own as a full-functional POS.

Verifone P400

 

With a 3.5″ colour LCD touchscreen, 384 mb of memory, and a Linux-based operating system for added security, the Verifone P400 is a strong standalone pin pad, capable of integrating into any Linux-based POS system. The system is secure to PCI PTS 4.0 encryption standards.

Comparing Pin Pads

 

Both Verifone’s UK pin pad options offer strong features, but the largest difference is the operating system. The P400 operates on V/OS while the VX 820 runs on Verix.

.

Verifone Customer Support

 

While Verifone is a large, international company, most of their employees are in the United States and in sales offices. This means that customer service can be difficult to contact and unhelpful when you do get in touch. For this reason, you should typically source a Verifone card machine through a local supplier or your merchant account service to ensure that you get adequate customer service with your card machines. However, representatives are available 24/7 – so you can get in touch no matter what the time of day.

 

Verifone Servicing and Repair

 

All Verifone card machines come with a 1-year manufacturer warranty but you can continue to request (and pay for) servicing for as long as you own the machine. Verifone operates one repair centre in Dunfermline, Scotland, meaning that repairs can take some time. However, if you lease or purchase your Verifone card machine through a third-party supplier such as your merchant account, you will likely source servicing and repair through them.

 

Verifone Contract and Early Termination

 

Verifone does not offer contracts, only direct sales. However, you may be able to lease your Verifone card machine through another company, which will include a lease. Pay attention to early termination, service fees, and 24-hour replacement fees, which many companies charge without full disclosure.

 

Warranty and Protection

 

All Verifone card machines comes with a full 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. You can also choose to purchase additional buyer-protection to cover your machine in case of defect, failure, or accidental damage. This includes liquid damage, drops and collisions, and other types of accidental breakage. Verifone does honour the Buyer Protection very well, so it is a good investment if you are in an area where damage is likely.

 

Leasing vs Buying Verifone Card Machines

 

Verifone card machines are available for sale and lease from many merchant account providers. You may also be able to purchase your own through a variety of services such as Amazon, eBay, or directly from Verifone in the UK.

In most cases, leasing is considerably more expensive, with rates typically starting between £15-£20 per month. Because most Verifone card machines cost less than £600, you may eventually pay considerably more for the lease. However, leasing does offer advantages such as more comprehensive warranty, quick replacement, and updates as new technology becomes available.

 

Final Verdict

 

Verifone is one of the most popular card machine manufacturers in the world, but they are a premium brand. If you’re looking for a budget card machine, Verifone is not what you are looking for. However, if you need modern technology, contactless payment, and colour screens, Verifone has some of the newest and best card machines on the market.
If you’re not sure, consider comparing VeriFone card machines that meet your needs to other similar models from brands like First data, Dejavoo, Ingenico, HandPoint, and Pax to ensure that you’re getting the best deal.
