Staying Safe with Your Terminal
Quick Safety Checklist
Keep your terminal safe - always in sight, lock away when not in use.
Do not share access - no passwords, no unsupervised use.
Double-check unusual transactions - large or suspicious payments.
Handle refunds carefully - refund only to the original card, keep clear records.
Train your staff - make sure everyone knows the red flags.
Stay up to date - install updates, act on alerts.
Keep receipts clear - use your correct trading name so customers recognise it.
Keep Your Terminal Secure
Think of your terminal as cash - you would not hand your wallet to a stranger.
Best Practices
Keep the terminal in sight at all times.
Never let someone else use it unsupervised.
Lock it away safely when not in use.
Do not share passwords, passcodes, or manager overrides.
Risks If You Do Not
