Updated January 2024

This document describes the benefits of having a Managed Network Service Provider (MNSP).

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER MNSP?

This document outlines the essentials of what MNSP is and why it’s a great choice for any business.

WHAT IS MNSP?

MNSP (Managed Network Service Provider) allows customers to have complete control of the store’s PCI-DSS environment by replacing the Verifone Enhanced Zone Router (EZR) with a new store routing solution. The MNSP program reduces the complexities of store networking by reducing networking hardware and providing a single point of contact for networking issues and expansion.

Benefits of the MNSP Service for a Business There are many benefits to a business with transitioning to MNSP.

• Secure network communication across the store, as well as necessary communications entering or leaving the store.

• PCI-DSS is under the control of the business and uses vendors the business already has relationships with.

• The entire store network is visible from the MNSP device.

• The MNSP solution easily scales for the growing and changing needs of the business (cloud, loyalty, and more).

• Networking support that extends beyond the core Verifone Help Desk support, provided by the people who know your store’s network inside and out.

• Installation costs are lower.

• Pick the solution that’s best for your store - many sites will have a choice of provider and be able to find the solution that’s right for their pocketbook and their needs.**

• And finally, sites with Outdoor EMV must use MNSP for their routing solution.

**Major oil branded sites will need to validate provider or provider selection with their brand.
