Make sure you select the correct Firmware Update Package for your device. There are currently two options available: NEO 1.01 or NEO 1.10.

  • Use NEO 1.01 to update solutions that achieved an EMV L3 accreditation under the now-expired EMV L1 Certificate (Contact: 13386 1115 400 21 FIM, or Contactless: 10490 1015 231 231b 231a FMT).
  • Use NEO 1.10 for new accreditations under the current EMV L1 Certificate (Contact: 16956 0220 430 43c 43c FIMT, or Contactless: 16397 1218 260 26b 26b FIMT).
