I noticed your some of your LOAs have expired or expiring, will you be renewing those?
No, we will not be able to renew existing LOA. EMV standards have changed significantly since VP3300 was released and therefore won't allow us to "renew" the LOA. ID TECH has to modify VP3300 firmware and hardware in order to adopt to the new EMV standard.
What does it mean for me as a customer? Can I still go through L3 certifications with VP3300?
...
What do you mean by "grace period"?
Card brands allow 1-year grace period upon original LOA expiration date for merchants to START their L3 certification. Even though some of VP3300's LOAs have expired or are expiring, customer can still start their L3 certificaiton. Please see VP3300 LOA expiration dates and their respective valid grace periods.
For example:
If you are looking to start L3 certification on Discover card, the latest you can start is before Feb-7th-2020 when Discover's 1-year grace period expires.
Certification (EMV 2.3.1) | Brand | File/Link | Expiration | Customer can START L3 before: |
