Hypercom’s Wymix PIN pad has received Visa payWave certification. The Wymix with built-in contactless antenna can be used to process payments made by contactless cards as well as NFC-enabled mobile handsets.The contactless Wymix PIN Pad is deployed with French retailers.
Contactless payments provide key benefits to retailers and consumers in high transaction volume environments where speed is of the essence, including hypermarkets, quick-service restaurants and gas stations. The processing time for contactless transactions is considerably shorter than for contact card transactions. The speed provided by contactless technology is projected to help drive the increased use of loyalty and other value-add applications.
Kazem Aminaee, managing director of Southern EMEA at Hypercom, said: “Many of the retailers in Europe are committed to deploying the most innovative and cost effective electronic transaction solutions in their stores.
“The speed, security and convenience of contactless payments coupled with Hypercom’s Wynid Server and Wymix PIN Pad offer the retailer the state of the art in card payment solutions and their customers faster check-out times and an improved payment experience.”
