## Description

The VX 520 is a reliable, rugged countertop device that's built to last. It handles encryption, decryption and processing at lightning speeds thanks to its powerful processor and expandable memory. Integrated NFC capabilities support alternative payments and also supports value-added applications such as loyalty or gift card acceptance. A full range of connectivity options, from dial to dial plus Ethernet, with an optional battery allows the VX 520 to go wherever you go. A uniquely designed communication port area underneath the device keeps countertops neat and free of clutter.

Review: Works at 1/2 the cost - This unit from Office Direct works perfect on the Costco Elavon System. Easy to program, Elavon was very happy to download the programs needed. As previously noted by others, if you need debit card function which we didn't pay the extra $ to have it done. Elavon wanted to charge us $370+ under a special Costco deal for the Vx520. The customer reps will try to talk you into their deal, the tech rep will help you anyway.
Review: Master card debit not working - Reliable. Working super fast with chip reading and only needing to swipe once. Most of the credit cards working fine accept some Master debit cards that required to enter PIN. There are reviews indicated that it missing encryption. Nevertheless, Visa debit cards working great without asking to enter PIN. Contacted Elavon twice and they willingly wiping then reinstall the software. Still having the problem with some master debit card. Contacted the seller and they indicated that it need to be injecting with encryption with a charge of $45. Should this injection be put on prior of shipping out to customers? You probably need to request the seller to do so prior of purchasing. In my case, every debit/credit cards working great accept some master debit card.

### ⭐ HOLD ON THERE!!
*by M***. on October 20, 2016*

After reading the reviews and questions, it makes it sound like you could activate this unit on Costco Elevon. This is NOT correct. Elevon stopped activating these units(actually all units) in Sept. 2016 that were not purchased from them. I'm pretty sure about this since I pushed them pretty hard with no budging. Their excuse is that potentially it could have a duplicator chip in them that could send out credit card numbers to the bad guys. In reality, it's a good excuse for them to make more money by selling the same unit for $480.
