VICKI brings contactless payments to unattended retail

Tap-to-pay has become a standard way to buy, letting shoppers pay with a contactless card, phone, or wearable in about a second. For years the U.S. trailed other markets in adopting the technology. That changed quickly: businesses moved to add contactless terminals to reduce shared touchpoints at checkout, and EMV contactless transactions carry stronger security than mag-stripe.

Today most new terminals ship contactless-capable, and a growing share of face-to-face transactions happen at contactless-enabled merchants. Card brands raised transaction limits to encourage tap-to-pay, and the shift reached every environment, including retail and unattended machines.

• Fully contactless checkout: tap a card, phone, or mobile wallet and pay in seconds
• Biometric options, including thumb and iris scan, for returning shoppers who create an account
• A Secure Card token that lets shoppers reuse payment details for subscriptions and loyalty without re-entering card data
• AI, computer vision, and Intelli-Shelf sensor fusion to reduce theft of high-value products
• PCI compliance handled through Worldnet's end-to-end solution
