The POS Admin card (also referred to as a personal account card or supervisor admin card) restricts access to various terminal functions as well as transactions that impact your account (e.g., Refunds and Voids).
IMPORTANT: You,
the merchant, are solely responsible for the security and care of all
your POS Admin cards at all times. If your POS Admin card is lost, stolen
or damaged (or you suspect it may be lost or stolen), call the Moneris
Merchant Service Centre immediately.
All transactions completed with a POS Admin card are subject to the terms
and conditions of your merchant agreement with Moneris. The merchant agreement
contains important provisions regarding your responsibility for POS Admin
card security and your liability for transactions made with a POS Admin
card.
