Chips with everything

Pay-on-foot parking machines have been developed that are capable of accepting payment by magnetic stripe credit or debit card. To prevent fraud losses on transactions, every new card acceptance device used in the unattended acceptance terminal (UAT) arena should be Chip and PIN enabled. The machines must provide very high levels of tamper resistance and protection against rain and spillages. The machines must be easy to clean and be able to operate in extreme summer and winter temperatures. They must also be designed for where a mains electricity power supply cannot always be guaranteed. Some are able to operate on solar panels. The costs of adding Chip and PIN capability to parking machines are offset by savings associated with collecting, counting and sorting cash and charges associated with fraudulent transactions. Visa is a strong driver for a single, consistent user experience of Chip and PIN. The need for Chip and PIN capable UATs is finding widespread acceptance in the parking industry.
