Secure payment terminal for your fuel station
DFS Crypto NOVA®

A terminal standing on its own out on the forecourt is exactly the kind of place where fraudsters try to fit a skimmer or tamper with the card reader. If that happens, it isn't only your customers' card data at risk. It's their trust in your site as well. That is why security in Crypto NOVA is built in from the start, not added afterwards.

Approved to PCI PTS 6.x with SRED

PCI PTS is the standard the card industry uses to approve terminals that read cards and PINs. Crypto NOVA is approved to version 6.x with SRED (Secure Reading and Exchange of Data). That means card data is protected from the moment the card is read, not somewhere further down the line.

Card data is encrypted straight away

NOVA encrypts card data in real time (P2PE, point-to-point encryption), so the details stay encrypted all the way from the terminal onwards. Behind the terminal sits Tokheim OASE™, which is itself certified to PCI DSS and PCI P2PE. Together, that means there are no readable card numbers on the site for anyone to steal.

Protection against skimming and tampering in the hardware itself

Protection against skimming and tampering is part of the terminal's design. It isn't an extra layer that can be forgotten or switched off, and it's there from the day the terminal goes in.

What it means for you

With card data encrypted from the terminal and all the way through OASE, it becomes easier to meet the requirements of PCI DSS. And because OASE handles card authorisation, you can change acquirer later without replacing the equipment on site.

Read about OASE

NOVA is certified for debit, credit, fuel and loyalty cards. Customers can also pay contactless with a card, a phone or a watch.

Through OASE, the terminal can accept over 250 card types across Europe.

Crypto VGA is installed at many sites, and it's a terminal we know well. We still supply and service it, and we hold spare parts, so a VGA that's playing up can be repaired or replaced.

VGA has a touchscreen, takes contactless, RFID and mobile payments, and has a 419-metre receipt roll that needs changing far less often than on other terminals. It can display 31 languages and switches language automatically based on the card.

When does it make sense to switch to NOVA?

It depends on your site. Which cards you accept, which systems the terminal needs to talk to and how old your current terminals are all affect when a switch pays off. At the same time, the rules on which terminals may be sold to new sites are changing.

The switch itself is smaller than many people expect. The freestanding NOVA terminal uses the same ground mounting as the freestanding Crypto VGA, so it can go on the existing foundation.

We go through your setup with you and put a plan together. That way you don't switch earlier than you need to, and you're not left with a terminal that can no longer be supplied on the day you need a new one.
