A terminal with contactless functionality, supporting it to accept contactless payments, comprising payments from contactless chip cards, mobile NFC devices that are enabled with payment application and authorizations and dual interface chip cards. Contactless payment application exist in a point-of-sale (PoS) terminal in accordance with multiple application kernels, one of each supported payment network.
The application kernels are developed and certified by the vendors who offer contactless PoS terminals. Contactless application kernels can be designed to support two different modes of transaction, one of which includes the EMVCo standard, and the other, known as MSD. While EMVCo (previously EMV) represents a consortium of financial companies, it typically covers chip transactions, viz. Visa, Mastercard, JCB (J Smart), NPCI (Rupay), AEIPS (American Express), UICS (China Union Pay), and Verve.
Contactless MSD stands for magnetic stripe data transactions, and has been enabling access to a majority of traditional contactless terminals. Chip transactions, on the other side, support enhanced functionality and features, including consumer verification mode (CVM) on consumer devices.
A contactless PoS terminal is connected as a peripheral to the PoS. Introducing contactless feature at any PoS incurs complexity and incremental costs. This may also depend on merchant decision and may impact obligation for card fraud.
A number of factors are contributing to the growth of global contactless PoS terminal market such as advancement in contactless payment technology, rising awareness of plastic money among the buyers, increasing frequency of purchases, and the need for fast transaction time without any hassle of long queues for payment.
Contactless payment is further evolving, making itself a useful interface between the consumers, retailers, advertisers and marketers. Hence, contactless PoS terminals adoption is PoSitively impacted with all the above mentioned factors aiding the growth in revenue of global contactless PoS terminal market.
However, high initial installation cost, government regulations and security issues are a few factors that act as a challenge to the growth of global contactless PoS terminal market.
