NASHVILLE and BRECKSVILLE, Ohio — Two convenience store retailers, Tri Star and truenorth, are preparing for the upcoming October 2017 EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) liability shift deadline at the forecourt by implementing a host of Verifone Systems Inc. products.

Brecksville-based truenorth is deploying Verifone solutions at its 110 company-owned stores and 100 marketer affiliates in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan. “This deployment will help our store operators improve operational efficiency while providing customers with faster service and confidence that we’ve deployed the latest in secure payment solutions,” stated Lindsay Lyden, vice president of development for truenorth.
