GREENSBORO, N.C. – Gilbarco Veeder-Root announced yesterday that its Passport EMV technology is now available to ExxonMobil-branded retailers. One of the earliest adopters is Houston-based Landmark Industries, which owns 240 convenience stores under various major oil brands. Landmark is transitioning all its ExxonMobil-branded stores to enable chip card transactions at the front counter and at the fuel dispenser.

“Our efforts to rapidly upgrade as many sites as possible with this software has offered our customers peace of mind that Landmark is doing its part to reduce fraud and keep them moving down the road,” said Landmark director of service, Steve Poncik. “We’re starting the rollout at our ExxonMobil sites, and are also already testing the Passport EMV release on some of our sites with other brands as well, so we can get to outdoor EMV across our network as quickly as possible.”

Landmark is just one of the ExxonMobil brands eager to get up and running with chip card technology ahead of the fast-approaching 2020 deadline.

“We are excited to help retailers like Landmark be able to protect their customers at the dispenser by enabling EMV acceptance. We expect to see retailers start to accept EMV payments at the dispenser quickly now, as the point of sale releases like this one to support EMV at the dispenser now become broadly available,” said Mark Williams, vice president of Gilbarco North America Marketing.
