About iDynamo 6

Cafés and restaurants, boutiques and large retailers will benefit from iDynamo 6, the next generation of
MagTek secure card reader authenticators (SCRAs). iDynamo 6 is an SCRA with magnetic stripe, EMV
contact, and EMV / NFC contactless reading capabilities. To use the contactless capabilities, the device
must be powered from a fully-powered USB-C port, or must be fitted with the optional battery pack for
handheld solutions. The removable battery pack gives the flexibility to accept two or three methods of
payment in one compact reader, and to function as a battery-free device if handheld contactless payments
are not required. The versatile mounting bracket included with the device can be used to enhance
mechanical stability with many types of host, including those with iOS, Windows, and Android operating
systems. iDynamo 6 delivers a smart solution for companies that need the most flexibility in the smallest
form factor at a great price.
