MSAM card? - 05-06-2011, 09:44 AM


I just purchased a new Visa card reader, and the instructions say to place an MSAM card into the darned thing.

No one at the office supply stores know what this is, and when I explain they still do not know.

I looked on the internet and could not find where to purchase one.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks. I tried that, but the inquiry had to be referred to someone else, and then ... well you know how it goes.

The calls can be referred at least 20 times before anyone knows what is going on, and then I love to sit and wait, and then punch numbers on the phone.

Press 1 if you want to keep waiting
Press 2 if you want to go eat dinner and come back.
Press 3 if you want to listen to the first two options again.

Sorry to hear that. I've never had that kind of runaround with my CC processing company.

MSAM stands for micromodule-size Security Access Module (card)

Correct. :) I can't understand why one does not come with the machine.
And there is very little information about them on the internet.

Interesting item... this post is way up on the Google search when you type MSAM.

from the info I located online, this doesn't come with it because your CC processing company should should either provide it or program your reader for you.
