MASTERCARD UNIQUE TERMINAL ID MANDATE
Effective January 1, 2017, merchants who do not adhere to the MasterCard Unique Terminal ID mandate which requires unique terminal identifiers for each independent card reading device in a single location, will fall into a status of noncompliance with MasterCard. For each transaction that violates this mandate, you may be assessed a fine by MasterCard.
All merchants with multiple card-reading devices, such as PIN pads, connected to a single host terminal are required to have each of their devices identifiable with a unique Device ID number to remain compliant and avoid fines from MasterCard.
The Fines are steep
Up to $2,500 per occurrence for the first 30 days
Up to $5,000 per occurrence for days 31-60
Up to $10,000 per occurrence for days 61-90
Up to $20,000 per occurrence for subsequent violations
I have not seen a var sheet with unique IDs for each of the Front of House terminals. I have seen in the newer EDC where you can add additional terminal IDs for each FOH term.
I support Aloha and have been upgrading people to ver 12.3.
