What are Terminal & Merchant IDs?
In New Zealand, every merchant and every EFTPOS terminal is assigned its own ID number. The Merchant ID (MID) is provided by your merchant bank and links your terminal to your settlement bank account. The Terminal ID (TID) is a unique number assigned to each individual terminal.
These numbers identify which network your terminal is connected to and which cards it accepts. You may be asked to share them with payment providers, your bank, or Eftpos NZ so we can identify your terminal or merchant facility.
How do I find these numbers?
Verifone Network
For terminals connected to the Verifone network, your MID appears next to 'MID' on your EFTPOS receipt. Your TID appears next to 'TSP'.
On an Android terminal, you can also find both numbers by tapping the menu icon on the Payment screen and selecting 'About', or by running a transaction history report.
Paymark Network
If your terminal is connected to the Paymark network, your MID and TID appear on your receipt below the date and time. The exact layout depends on your terminal model.
On some receipts, only the Terminal ID is shown.
