PointPay USA, Inc. Launches the EFT Smart Plus Terminal at the ETA

 

At the Electronic Transactions Association’s annual meeting in Las Vegas, PointPay USA announced the introduction of its new, powerful EFT Smart Plus terminal manufactured by Sagem. The EFT Smart Plus is an IP enabled device which features 16 megs of memory, two powerful 32 bit ARM9 RISC processors with fire-walled multi-application support, an internal PIN Pad, an integrated 18 lps printer and an on-board smart card reader.

 

This terminal has been engineered to be simple to install and operate. During installation, the EFT Smart Plus automatically “finds and loads” the host’s IP address – this is no longer a complicated, labor intensive activity. And in the event the IP network fails, the terminal automatically reverts to a dial-up mode to complete the transaction. Additionally, the clean design of the EFT Smart Plus combined with PointPay’s intuitive application architecture simplifies training and use of the terminal.

 

The dual ARM9 RISC processor architecture is unique in the industry. One of these 200 MHz processors ensures high speed processing of transactions while the other is devoted entirely to security management to provide the highest level of transaction integrity in the industry.

 

“The EFT Smart Plus is truly a Next Generation POS Solution for Today’s POS with advanced features and capabilities to support the evolving payments industry,” comments Bob Wilson, President of PointPay USA, Inc. “This device offers our customers a powerful solution with a unique design at a lower price point.”

 

PointPay is in the process of certifying FDMS Omaha and TSYS Acquiring Solutions (formerly Vital Processing Services) - targeted for completion in June with plans to add other major payment processors along with selected value added applications by years-end. Additionally, the EFT Smart Plus terminal is VISA PED certified in both on-line and off-line modes and integrates SSL security for IP communications.
