Contactless Payments - PC-EFTPOS i5100 Operating Manual

9.0 CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS.

The ViVOtech® contactless card reader is designed to make payments faster and
easier for both you and the cardholder. It enables MasterCard® PayPass™ and Visa®
payWave cards to be used without being inserted into, or swiped through the EFTPOS
terminal. These cards are embedded with an antenna which enables the card to be
read when it is within four centimetres of the reader.
It also enables small ticket purchases to be completed without PIN or signature
verification, dependent on the rules of the card issuer.
If the cardholder does not have a contactless card, then the card will need to be
inserted into, or swiped through the EFTPOS terminal, in the usual manner. Refer
to section 5.0 Transaction Procedures for further instructions on transaction
processing.
