Custom Business Solutions’ NorthStar POS now EMV certified with three more processors

January 20, 2017

Custom Business Solutions, developers of a restaurant industry iPad-based point-of-sale system, announced EMV certification for its NorthStar POS platform with three of the restaurant industry’s largest payment providers: First Data; Heartland Payment Systems; and TSYS Merchant Solutions. Coming only a few months after certification with Vantiv Integrated Payments, certification for NorthStar provides restaurant operators with more choices for seamless payment and POS technology solutions.

Changing the way fraud liability affects business owners, EMV was designed to reduce fraud by protecting chip-enabled debit and credit cards that are accepted at the point of sale. The chip cards are a more secure alternative to traditional magnetic stripe payment cards. The security is further enhanced when used in conjunction with a personal identification number.

Utilizing a PAX Technology reader to accept payments, these additional EMV integrations provide greater flexibility to NorthStar users. PAX Technology devices, available in both hard-wired and wireless options, allow restaurant operators to be EMV compliant while taking payments in a fashion best suited for their restaurant.

First developed for the restaurant industry nearly six years ago, NorthStar Order Entry provides an omnichannel system for guests and servers to more efficiently order while managing security, improving speed of service and enhancing the guest experience.
