Certificate Expiration information

Thursday, September 04, 2025

All POS solutions that transact with Global Payments are required to make a secure connection to our processing servers. There are several ways of doing this, but if connecting over the open Internet, a TLS connection is required. Global Payments currently uses Entrust as their primary Certification Authority (CA) to issue these TLS certificates; however, we will now be using DigiCert for new certificate issuance. You will need to make sure you are prepared for our transition to DigiCert before the Entrust certificate expires.

Next steps

Depending on your payment device, your next steps may or may not involve action on your part. In order to avoid any disruptions to your business, your terminal needs to replace the Entrust certificate with a new DigiCert certificate by performing a download. Please follow these steps.
