Keep payments flowing. Upgrade capabilities on your terms.

Replace your old payment terminals before 31 October 2027

Many payment terminals currently in use across Switzerland are approaching an important industry deadline and must be replaced by 31 October 2027 to continue accepting card payments.


While the deadline may still seem distant, planning early gives your business more replacement options, greater flexibility, reduced risk of unexpected terminal failures, better availability of installation and migration resources, and time to evaluate new payment capabilities and services.


The earlier you start, the more control you have over the transition.

Why is this happening?

To ensure card transactions remain secure, the payment terminals used must always comply with the latest security standards.
International card organizations regularly increase their requirements. 

The Technical Cooperation ep2 (TeCo ep2) association ensures that ep2 transactions in Switzerland are processed uniformly and securely. Since 2013, clear requirements for the maximum service life of terminals have been in force.
 

Not sure if your terminals are affected?

Many merchants know their terminal model but not the relevant ep2 protocol, regulations and applicable deadlines.


The ep2 Generation 5 sunset affects a range of terminals from multiple manufacturers, including devices commonly used across retail, hospitality and unattended industries in Switzerland.


Planet can help you identify affected terminals, understand your upgrade requirements, review available replacement options, and build a migration timeline.
