by Ben Dwyer The First Data FD200Ti terminal is a multi-function transaction terminal that includes a built-in check reader and a printer. The all-in-one terminal is designed to save counter space while offering a way to accept a variety of payments.
You can accept major credit cards with traditional magnetic stripe technology, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. The terminal can also process debit cards, and an optional contactless reader is available to accept contactless forms of payment. The EMV enhanced terminal lets you accept EMV chip cards as well. A PIN pad is required for accepting PIN debit and EBT cards. Checks are processed with TeleCheck Electronic Check Acceptance service and offer an optional check warranty to lower risk associated with accepting checks. The FD200Ti can also accept First Data program gift cards and loyalty cards.
The terminal can connect with high-speed Ethernet cable or a traditional phone line, and has optional WiFi capabilities. The FD200Ti is proprietary to First Data, and requires a merchant account with a First Data processor in order to use the terminal for transaction processing.
Security
The FD200Ti features industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and includes First Data’s TransArmor Data Protection for maximum security. Featuring encryption and tokenization, TransArmor helps ensure cardholder data is safe, protecting you, your customers, and their businesses. Additionally, the built-in thermal printer only prints the last 4 digits of a customer’s card on the receipt, ensuring added security.
