How to Transfer a Nayax Device to Another Operator (US & Canada)

Transfer ownership of a Nayax device from one operator to another. This guide covers everything both parties need to complete the transfer form, what Nayax reviews after submission, and how long to expect the process to take.

Before You Start

  • Both the Transferring Party (current owner) and the Receiving Party (new owner) each have a Nayax Core Operator ID (also called DCS ID or Customer ID).
  • You have the serial number of each device being transferred.
  • You know the total number of devices you are transferring.
  • You have all business names registered with Nayax for your account.
  • Any outstanding balances or unpaid invoices on the account have been resolved.
⚠️
US & Canada only: This process applies exclusively to operators in the United States and Canada. If you are in a different region, contact Nayax Support for the correct transfer process.
ℹ️
New customer? If the Receiving Party does not yet have a Nayax Core Operator ID, they should select the "Register Here" option on the transfer form rather than following this guide.
What You'll Need
  1. Your Operator ID (Nayax Core ID / DCS ID) found in your Clearing Contract or Billing Report. 

  2. You can also follow the How to Locate an Operator ID guide in Nayax Core Administration.
  3. All business names registered with Nayax on your account.
  4. The total number of devices being transferred.
  5. The serial number of each device being transferred.

Submit the Transfer Form

⚠️
Order matters: The Transferring Party must complete their section first. Only after the Transferring Party has submitted their portion can the Receiving Party begin filling out theirs.
  1. 1

    Open the Device Transfer Form - Customer to Customer using the official link provided by Nayax Support or your account representative.

  2. 2

    Transferring Party: Complete your section of the form first. You will need your Operator ID, all registered business names, the total device count, and the serial number of each device being transferred.

  3. 3

    Once the Transferring Party has submitted their section, share the form with the Receiving Party so they can complete their portion.

    💡
    Tip: Coordinate with the other party before you begin - have all serial numbers and Operator IDs ready to avoid delays mid-form.
  4. 4

    Receiving Party: Complete your section of the form, providing your own Operator ID, business names, and confirming the devices being transferred.

  5. 5

    Submit the completed form. Both parties' submissions are required before Nayax can begin processing.

    What you should see: Both parties receive confirmation that their form has been submitted. Nayax will begin the internal review once both submissions are received.

What Happens After Submission

Once Nayax receives both completed forms, the transfer goes through a two-stage internal review.

🔍
Financial Review

Nayax verifies that there are no outstanding balances or pending payments associated with the devices being transferred. Any open amounts must be resolved before the transfer can proceed.

Account Setup

Once financial clearance is confirmed, the team completes the ownership update in the system and finalizes the transfer to the new operator's account.

Timeline & Delays

1–2
weeks
standard processing time
💡
Plan ahead: Initiate the transfer well in advance of any planned operational changes, as processing may take longer if there are outstanding balances or compliance requirements.

Common reasons for delays

Possible Cause What to Do
 
Forms not yet received from both parties
Confirm that both the Transferring and Receiving operators have submitted their completed sections of the form.
 
Outstanding balance on the account
Check whether there are any unpaid invoices or pending payments associated with the devices being transferred.
 
Compliance hold
In some cases, additional documentation or verification may be required. Contact Nayax Support for details on what is needed.

Result

🎉 Transfer Complete

Once the transfer is finalized, the device is removed from the Transferring Party's Nayax Core account and added to the Receiving Party's account. The new owner can then activate and manage the device under their Operator ID. Both parties typically receive confirmation from the Nayax team when the transfer is complete.

Troubleshooting

The transfer has been pending for more than 2 weeks. 

Contact Nayax Support at 410-666-3800 or [email protected] and ask for a status update. Common causes include an outstanding account balance, a missing form submission from one party, or a compliance hold requiring additional documentation. 

 

The Receiving Party cannot access their section of the form. 

The Transferring Party must fully submit their section before the Receiving Party's portion becomes available. Confirm the Transferring Party has submitted, then try accessing the form again. 

 

I don't know my Operator ID (DCS ID). 

Your Operator ID appears in your Clearing Contract and Billing Report as the Nayax Core ID or Customer ID. You can also locate it through Nayax Core follow the How to Locate an Operator ID guide. 

 

The Receiving Party doesn't have a Nayax Operator ID yet. 

If the new owner is not yet a Nayax customer, they should select "Register Here" on the transfer form to create a new Nayax Core account. Both parties must have an Operator ID before the standard transfer process can be completed. 

 

I'm not sure if there's an outstanding balance on my account. 

Log in to Nayax Core and check your Billing Report for any unpaid invoices. Alternatively, contact Nayax Support (US & Canada) - they can verify your account status and confirm whether any balance needs to be cleared before the transfer proceeds.
