WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Industry-leading payment processing services provider, Signature Card Services, is offering free EMV-enabled terminals to its merchants in the U.S. to make their transition to the EMV standard as economical and effortless as possible. The company has chosen Ingenico’s EMV terminals to be installed for interested merchants starting June 15, 2013.
