card payments
we have no reason to expect anything
but growth as the cost of payment
acceptance devices reduces. As
with most new innovations in card
payments we’re likely to see uptake of
the technology in the traditional retail
attended markets, however, at least one
manufacturer has an unattended PIN on
glass device available now. This reduces
the footprint in the Kiosk or payment
machine as there’s no separate PIN pad,
card reader or contactless reader – it’s all
rolled into one device.
The industry always strives for
innovation and new technologies
however it’s ultimately controlled by
consumers adoption, so, it could,
therefore, be you or I who determine the
next generation of device design, and its
success or failure in the near future. n
