Card Acquiring Service has a chain-level point of contact (POC) list for all agencies. The listed POC will be expected to disseminate conversion-related information to the appropriate location point of contacts within each agency. All divisions within an agency would be expected to roll up to the agency for their POC and the chosen conversion option.
New Merchant Identification (MID) Number and Terminal Identification (TID) Number information will be shared with the agencies via email during the conversion. This information will appear in the Configuration Summary that will be disseminated to the agencies.
No. While Self Service is encouraged and allows an agency the freedom to complete terminal conversions at a time of their choosing, some agencies may not feel comfortable completing the updates without assistance. The choice of conversion option (Self Service, Coached, or VAR Update) is completely up to the agency.
