As previously communicated, the Ruby/Sapphire and OPW Petrovend end-of-life on the Cenex network is August 31, 2017.  That means locations still operating on this equipment at the end of August will be subject to end-of-life hardware fees on their monthly Payment Solutions statement.

If you have not already done so, now is the time to start looking at your options for upgrading to an EMV capable system.  Cenex marketers have access to exclusive pricing for Verifone RubyCi and Commander as well as Gilbarco Passport point-of-sale equipment.  Plus, CHS Technology Rebates of up to $2,800 apply to purchases made before August 31, 2017.

In addition to the special pricing noted above, we’ve partnered with Patriot Capital to provide financing options. You can even finance installation and other upgrade costs.  If you are financing your purchase, please be sure to let your equipment company know up front.  Continue reading →
