3.5 CONTACTLESS

All new Contactless cards include the latest advanced security features
required by the payment card industry. Payments are processed through the
same secure Visa/Mastercard technology as Chip and PIN transactions.
Contactless transactions are covered by the same fraud protection as Chip
and PIN transactions. Contactless also offers an extra level of security by
allowing the customer to retain control of their card at all times, preventing
behind the counter fraud from taking place.
Payments are made via radio wave communication between the customer's
contactless credit card and the SkyPay-300; contactless cards have an
antenna embedded in the card plastic.
By simply holding the contactless card within a few centimetres of the SkyPay-
300, at the point of sale, the card is detected and the chip in the card is
powered on. This allows a wireless communication link to be established
between the card and the reader enabling the transfer of information which
takes less than half a second to complete.
As soon as the transaction is complete, the SkyPay-300 will display a row of four
green lights, indicating that the contactless card can be moved away from
the reader.
The SkyPay-300 is fully compatible with the global EMV standards, as well as
Visa's PayWave and MasterCard's PayPass.
Contactless card processing is fast, secure and convenient, no more fumbling
for change or traditional card reading to hold up queues.
