Secure international payment transactions
Cashless payment by means of
credit/debit cards or the NFC functionality featured in today’s mobile phones
is gaining acceptance. Mobile GSM technology is also being increasingly
employed in this area. A taxi ride or pizza delivered to your door can now be
paid for conveniently via a mobile phone transaction, for example, and snacks, drinks,
or train tickets can be bought at vending machines. This trend is being
facilitated by the existence of SEPA (Single European Payment Area), a project
with the aim of introducing cashless payment practices to 31 countries in
Europe. GSM technology is the key to a host of innovative applications:
Highly flexible POS systems — POS devices can be installed in open areas where telephone
lines are absent, for example. Or they can be operated at peak times in
addition to conventional phone lines, which makes them flexible as well as
simple to use.
Efficient remote maintenance — Vending machines and the goods
they are stocked with can be monitored and checked remotely, and determining
turnover and sales tax levels can be done automatically as well.
Secure transactions — GSM technology enables payment data to be
transmitted securely and reliably.
