Keeping payment devices secure and up to date is one of the most effective ways to reduce cyber risk. For busy business owners, routine maintenance can be easy to overlook, but small steps can make a big difference.

Here are three ways businesses can strengthen their payment security:
𝟏. 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤
Outdated software can create security gaps. Enable automatic downloads, keep devices powered on and connected to the internet, and settle open batches at the end of each business day so scheduled updates can take place.

For example, a restaurant that powers down its terminal each night without settling open batches may miss scheduled updates, leaving the device behind on important security enhancements. Powered off devices can’t settle so it could also delay funding.

𝟐. 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲
Strong payment security goes beyond software updates. Solutions such as encryption, tokenization and authentication help protect cardholder data and reduce fraud risk.

For example, a retail shop that uses tokenization can help protect stored customer payment information for repeat purchases. For eCommerce merchants, EMV 3D Secure can add another layer of protection by helping verify online transactions, such as a high-value order from a new customer.

𝟑. 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐂𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance is required for businesses that handle card data. Reach out for questions and complete the annual assessment through PCI Compliance Manager.

For example, a seasonal business that only reviews compliance once a year could miss a revalidation deadline or overlook changes in how it accepts payments. Regular check-ins can help customers stay ahead of requirements and avoid unnecessary risk.

🚨 PSA: Don’t fall for the NFC “sticker scam” panic.

We keep seeing viral posts warning people about stickers placed over tap-to-pay readers at gas stations, claiming they steal your card information. That’s not how NFC works.

Here’s the truth:
Tap-to-pay (NFC) is the most secure way to use your card.
It never transmits your actual credit card number. Instead, it sends a one-time encrypted code, called a token, that only works once for that exact transaction. Even if someone were to intercept it (which is highly unlikely), it would be useless.

Now here’s the REAL threat:
Scammers may use these fake stickers to BLOCK the NFC reader, forcing you to swipe your card instead — and that’s where an old-school skimmer might be waiting to steal your real card data. Magnetic stripe swiping is far less secure.

✅ Stick with tap-to-pay or chip insert whenever possible.
❌ Avoid swiping unless you absolutely have to.
⚠️ And if you see a weird sticker over a tap reader, it’s probably trying to disable security, not hack it.
