In the face of growing technological innovation and, consequently, changing consumer preferences, payment solutions – increasingly instantaneous – involve kiosks with PDQ (Process Data Quickly), i.e. credit and debit card data processing terminals.
PDQ card machine, PDQ terminal, or just “PDQ” refers to a payment method that means there is rapid data processing. This sums up exactly what a PDQ machine does: authenticate the customer’s credentials and validate a transaction for an amount specified by the merchant, using a credit or debit card.
However, the PDQ machines of the past worked differently than those of today. With a PDQ machine, a customer would have to swipe their credit or debit card through the machine, which would then print a receipt, which the customer would, in turn, have to sign to authorize the payment. Then the signature would be verified. This way, if a customer’s card was lost or stolen, the thief would only need to perfect the signature on the back of the card to commit fraud.
Nowadays, and to combat this problem, one inserts the chip and the four-digit PIN, which must be secret. After the PIN is entered, the transaction data is sent to the merchant account, where the transaction is verified and authorized by the customer’s bank.
Chip and PIN are currently considered fast and secure ways to pay. Since they were introduced to the market, annual losses from fraud involving falsified cards have dropped significantly.
In order to eliminate queues and increase user satisfaction, the kiosks from PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS aim to facilitate and speed up any payment made. As the acronym indicates, kiosks with PDQ are essentially intended to process data quickly.
In addition to ensuring security and convenience, PDQ kiosks protect users against fraud that was previously more common with credit cards. So, any company and/or organization that acquires a PDQ kiosk guarantees ease of use and satisfaction, providing, consequently, a positive experience to users. This way, it is also possible to increase customer loyalty to the brand.
Essential for any business, kiosks with PDQ, by facilitating payments without cash, contribute to the growth of contactless payments, among other forms of payment associated with new technologies.
Payments without cash and contactless payments are, thus, both the present and the future of this digitally evolved generation. In addition to being more secure, they save time for users, store owners, and employees alike. Therefore, the sooner this type of payment, evident in kiosks with PDQ, is adopted, the sooner a business, and therefore sales, can be developed.
Purchasing a kiosk with PDQ is, therefore, the best option for any business. To build a successful business today, one must accept the fact that cost-effective, reliable, and fast alternatives are the way to go.
