Important Update

As of March 2022, F2 Readers no longer support NFC. Visa has announced that they are discontinuing support for Contactless (MSD) payment transactions, as such this feature will be disabled on F2 card readers after March 31st 2022. For more information on why this happened, click here.



The F3 FasCard Reader, meanwhile, supports the full range of EMV functionality (Chip, Tap-To-Charge NFC, Smart Device NFC, Swipe Fallback). Currently, there is no ETA on when these will arrive due to chip shortages and the effect that has on the manufacturing process. You may contact CCI for more information regarding processes in obtaining our third generation EMV-capable reader, including special upgrade pricing.
