Banks are issuing contactless cards at an increasing rate than ever before, which could be due to the acceleration of “touchless” payments from the onset of COVID-19. While no published date has been announced by card brands, the networks strongly encourage that operators complete their device upgrades to 4G LTE, as well as EMV-enabled by Dec 2022.

FAQ’s
Q: When will the 3G Network officially sunset?
A: Each cellular carrier has specific dates specific to their network. Please view our 3G Blog for the full detailed chart.
Q: How long will my devices last once I upgrade to 4G LTE?
A: 4G is not going anywhere anytime soon. 3G started in 2002 and is still active today, and 4G is currently planned to be used for at least another decade. Sources indicate that 4G will be serviced through 2030.
Q: Am I required to accept EMV Chip and Tap, or is Tap all I need?
A: In the small ticket market — specifically vending — EMV Chip will not be a required method of payment since consumers are choosing contactless methods of payment. EMV contactless “tap” should be all you need to support the card brands and your consumers’ move to EMV.
Q: What are the requirements and timeline around upgrading my devices to accept EMV?
A: While no published date has been announced by card brands, the networks strongly encourage that operators complete their device upgrades to 4G LTE, as well as EMV-enabled by Dec 2022.
Q: How will I know what devices currently accept EMV contactless?
A: Many 4G LTE ePort devices received an “over the air” upgrade to accept EMV tap in February/March 2020. Customers can easily view their 2G/3G devices in the field, by logging into Seed Live or Seed and running a “Device Details Report”. This report will show what devices are 2G/3G and which ones are connected to an EMV-enabled card reader.
