5. Financial Transactions
5.1. Card and Transaction Types
A financial transaction involves the transfer of funds between a cardholder's account and your own
business account. For example, a credit card Purchase transaction moves funds from the credit
cardholder's account to your business account, and a debit card Refund moves funds from your business
account to the debit cardholder's chequing or savings account.
The Moneris Vx810 Duet terminal can process various financial transactions on a number of card types.
The matrix below displays the supported card types and the transactions each card type supports.
