Prior to executing a Transaction, the Merchant must check: whether logos and symbols on the Cards are clearly visible, weather the hologram and images are clear and of high quality; whether the Card is free of any mechanical damages and punctures, whether the Card number and signature panel have not been modified; whether the Card s validity term has not expired; whether the person wishing to use the Card matches the Cardholder information (male/female) if such information is shown on the Card; whether there is an indication Valid only in on the Card which means that the Card is valid only in a certain country... The Merchant undertakes: to visually verify the authenticity of the Card and whether it matches the description of the relevant type of Card.

Use of Card in payment terminal.. Execution of payment with a magnetic stripe Card... The Merchant undertakes to keep hold of the Card until, and not return it to the Cardholder before, completion of the Transaction....

The printed Terminal receipt must be saved.... If negative or prohibitive code is shown for the Transaction, then the Transaction must be discontinued and appropriate steps must be taken.... The Merchant must make sure the Card number and the Card type shown on the Terminal receipt matches the Card used....

If there is no signature on the Card, the Merchant must try and identify the Customer s person by asking to present an identity document. The Cardholder must sign on the Card, following which the Transaction may be authenticated.... The Merchant may not continue with the Transaction if the Cardholder refuses to sign the Card. In such an event, the Merchant must cancel the authentication.... After completing the Transaction, the Merchant must issue to the Cardholder a copy of the Terminal s receipt or the second receipt (incl. a transaction refusal receipt) and return the Card and the identity document (if such was requested).

If the Cardholder is identified by PIN but the identification fails due to the PIN being blocked as a result of repeated inputting of a wrong PIN, then the Transaction must be discontinued and the Merchant must refuse to accept the Card as a means of payment.... If Cardholder s identification by PIN is successful, then the Merchant must issue a copy of the Terminal s receipt or the second receipt and return the Card. Note: if the Transaction is executed on the basis of PIN input, then the Cardholder s signature is not required and the Cardholder does not need to present an identity document... Requirements in respect of PIN entry device ( PED ) installation at points of sale... PEDs may not be installed within the visibility area of video surveillance cameras and must be placed on the counter in the proximity of the customer.... The PEDs must be positioned with the keypad facing the customer and the device must have viewobstructing walls to keep the PIN code out of sight of other people.... The Merchant may not remove the viewobstructing walls of the device which are essential elements of the PIN entry device and keep the PIN out of sight of other people. No person may in any way see or find out the PIN code.... The Merchant must ensure that the PED cannot be stolen or replaced. If the Merchant installs any additional devices, it must immediately notify the Bank thereof.. Transaction cancellation.. Transactions may be cancelled according to the Terminal user guide until such time as the Transaction reconciliation certificate is sent to the Bank...
