Daylight Saving Time ends November 1: is your POS ready?
Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1. Please remember to update the time on your point-of-sale (POS) equipment to ensure it reflects the correct local time.
Maintaining an accurate POS clock is important for payment security and transaction records. Payment application and PCI requirements require POS systems to record the correct transaction date and time.
Accurate time settings also help protect your business and customers. Card brands may allow consumers to dispute transactions if the date or time shown on their receipt is incorrect.
What to do
- Confirm the time on all POS equipment after the time change.
- Update clocks manually if your system does not adjust automatically.
- Verify that transaction receipts display the correct date and time.
If you need assistance updating the clock on your integrated POS system, contact your POS service technician or equipment manufacturer.
