It has been announced that ID TECH has released a new NFC/Contactless EMV reader, the ViVOpay Kiosk III SRED. As Contactless/NFC payments rapidly gain traction, ID TECH continues to expand its NFC reader line by introducing the industry’s first SRED contactless-only module: Kiosk III SRED.

In addition to all the advanced features from the existing non-SRED version, such as AES and TDES encryption, mobile payments, and popular NFC loyalty programmes, the SRED version provides added security with tamper detection as well as serving as a base for P2PE solutions, and it is certified with PCI PTS 4.X.

ID TECH’s VP of Product Management, Justin Ning said: “NFC payments and PCI security are at the forefront of today’s payment ecosystem, and our release of the Kiosk III SRED reader further justifies our commitment to pioneering and innovation within contactless payments. As a global leader in contactless payments, the Kiosk III SRED version provides our customers with a solution that supports the latest certifications and provisions them for years to come.”

The SRED version (like the non-SRED Kiosk III) serves the ‘unattended market’ of kiosks, drive-thrus, vending machines, gas pumps, ATMs, and other self-serve applications. It will also pair up with the existing weather-proof; ruggedised antenna, which has an IP 65 rating.

With availability in a square or angled bezel antenna, the SRED version of Kiosk III follows through with the durable design providing the flexibility to integrate contactless payments into practically any indoor or outdoor application.

ID TECH is exhibiting at NRF Big Show, Jacob Javits Centre, NYC. Visitors can visit at booth 4521.
