PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS at the vanguard of contactless payments technology

According to a study developed by GfK for Visa (in Portugal, Spain, France and Italy), since the beginning of the pandemic, 45% of the portuguese prefer digital payments, which led them to opt for alternative means and, more specifically, contactless payments.

Even before the pandemic, the future was expected to bring a greater variety of forms of payment associated with new technologies, with faster and simpler operations.

An example of contactless payments, besides cards, is the use of QR Code on a smartphone. At PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS we excel at innovation and seek to meet the needs of consumers, so many of our digital devices allow cashless payments.

Through the QR Code Zero Contact system, for example, a store can promote products through displays and/or digital billboards, giving customers the possibility to buy directly the product promoted through the QR Code. With the QR Code of the product, customers of the store can make purchases via cell phone. In the case of physical products, just provide the QR Code with it so that the customer can buy on his cell phone.

But there are two other forms of cashless payment at store. Without having to leave the car, the customer will be able to buy any product through the QR Code that is available outside the store. You can also do it from the digital billboard itself.

PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS self-service kiosks also integrate contactless payment systems, which allows speed, efficiency and security. Besides, consumers can purchase the desired products/services without having to worry about coins or notes at the time of purchase.

Examples of PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS multimedia kiosks that integrate cashless payment systems are DINK, a model that allows the check-in; the self check-in kiosks themselves; EXOZ, digital self-service kiosk for payments, among others.

There are also several advantages of contactless payments, among them the following:

• More hygienic payment than notes or coins;
• Ease and speed of payment;
• Greater security;
• Improvement of the consumption experience;
• Reduction of queues.
