Petrol Station Gets Chip and Pin
For those wanting to use their credit cards at a petrol station your wait is over. A new addition to your credit card will help you in this. The idea has been around for awhile in the customers mind, but the technology hasn’t been at the petrol stations. Now this will change in the near future thanks to a chip and pin pump at the petrol station in Chippenham. The magnetic strip will still be on your credit card, however, there will be a new addition on it. A computer chip will be added and you will need a pin number to use it. This technology isn’t new because there are credit cards that already have them as well as bank issued debit cards.
The idea that you will be able to pay at the pump is something that many have been looking forward to. You won’t have to wait in a queue to purchase your petrol. Once you have the new chip and pin card you can avail yourself of this service. The implementation is very simple; you can decide to pay at the pump and you will have several prompts that tell you what to do. Morrisons pay at the pump facilities will initiate this service for their patrons. The time saving chip and pin system will be a great advantage to the ordinary customer.
You will be asked how you want to pay for your petrol and once you have made your choice to pay at the pump you will be asked to slide your card through the reader. This seems to be a fairly easy process and secure as well. The chip will hold your information now instead of the magnetic strip. Once you have run your credit card through the reader you will be asked to choose the petrol you want. You will lift the nozzle and after you have inserted it into the gas tank you will begin pumping. Once you have obtained the amount of petrol you need you will put the nozzle back in the cradle. If you asked for a receipt you will have one printed for you right at the pump as well. Nothing could be easier and safer.
If you are a member of the Morrisons Miles you will be able to accrue them at the pump as well. This is the latest in technology for the patrons at Morrisons. If you want to still pay at the kiosk you will still be able to do that. Many patrons will not necessarily have a credit card with the chip and pin system right away. Once you do however, you will be able to join your fellow shoppers at the new pay at pump. If saving time is something you are looking for when you are out for your errands then you will be most pleased by this new service. When getting your petrol stop by Morrisons and try the new chip and pin service.
