This is the digital age. Every business needs to upgrade their infrastructure to keep up with changing times. When it comes to payments, a business needs to ensure it is utilizing all latest payment tools and not losing out on potential customers.
Whether you’re a business that’s just taking cash payments or a merchant that has an old, bulky card-machine, you need to upgrade to a latest SMART payment terminal fast.
Here are four reasons why you should use a new card machine to take payments from customers:
- Progressive Outlook: The world is heading towards a contactless society. According to UK Finance, the contactless card transactions amounted to £1.2 billion in February, 2022 which was 76.3% than the 668 million in February 2021. And there’s more than meets the eye- customers have not only moved away from cash but are also spoilt by the choice of numerous payment methods. As of August 2021, the UK ranked first worldwide for ApplePay transactions when it came to online and POS transactions. Latest SMART terminals give users multiple payment options like Chip&pin, Apple Pay, Google Pay and even QR codes. Customers are more likely to buy from your business if you cater to their payment needs. Different customers have different preferences when it comes to payment methods. A customer who wants to pay via ApplePay is unlikely to make a purchase or come back as a returning customer if he or she is asked to pay via cash or even a debit card. Using a latest SMART terminal will give your customers the flexibility to choose from a range of payment methods and they are sure to come back for repeat purchases, thereby increases the sales and profits for your business
- Ease & Efficiency: Latest SMART payment terminal facilitate ease and efficiency. Wireless card terminals are compact, light-weight and easy to handle allowing them to be moved about easily to accept payments from customers. They are pretty quick and easy to set-up. All you need is a card terminal and a WiFi or data connection, and voila, your card machine is ready to accept payments. They also come with long-lasting batteries without any need for charging for long hours.

- Enhanced Customer Experience: A SMART payment terminal allows your customer to pay from the comfort of their ‘chair’. You can bring a portable card machine right to them rather than the other way round! There are no long queues of people waiting to pay the cashier and the front of the premises is usually more spacious and creates an ideal environment for new customers to enter and make a purchase; it might even make the customers feel more welcome. With reduced crowds and improved turnover time, the staff are spared from working on mundane operational tasks; they can instead focus on enriching the customer’s experience in every way possible.
- Security: Contactless payments are highly secure. Security measures and fraud detection checks ensure that a wireless transaction is processed without compromising the customer’s information. A SMART terminal secures transactions in a number of ways. Some of these security measures are listed below.
- Chip & Pin: PIN codes for chip & pin transactions are encrypted into coded data that can only be accessed by individuals with a password or decryption key. Once the transaction is cleared, the merchant receives the payment.
- CVV check: With Card Verification Value (CVV or CV2), the customer is required to provide the CVV or CSC (Card Security Code) for payment verification; it is a 3- or 4-digit number given at the back of the customer’s debit or credit card. This is also done in real-time, ultimately allowing the business to accept or reject the payment right away.
- PCI DSS Compliance: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Compliance applies to all card payments. It stores, transmits and processes customer’s data safely and secures card transactions against data theft.
