Card and Transaction Types

A financial transaction involves the transfer of funds between a cardholder's account and your own business account. For example, a credit card Purchase transaction moves funds from the credit cardholder's account to your business account, and a debit card Refund moves funds from your business account to the debit cardholder's chequing or savings account.

The Moneris Vx810 Duet Point of Sale terminal can process various financial transactions on a number of card types. The matrix below displays the supported card types and the transactions each card type supports.
