I am worried about the security.
We are committed to helping our merchants protect card data with advanced security tools that encrypt and tokenize each transaction, so sensitive customer payment information does not enter your system through your point of sale system. If you don’t have payment data, then thieves cannot steal your customers card information. Clover devices include TransArmor Data Protection at no additional charge. For information regarding security on other terminals, please contact a LG Merchant consultant.
What is EMV and how does it benefit my business?

EMVCO, LLC manages the effort today and is overseen by six member organization: Visa®, Mastercard®, Discover®, American Express®, JCB® and Union Pay®. Chip technology provides a higher level of card security that helps protect against certain types of counterfeit fraud, which can help your business by resulting in fewer disputes and chargebacks.
