Contactless Vending: NFC Payment Solutions

Contactless payments, whether via bank cards (credit/debit) or mobile devices, use similar technology. An NFC chip in the card or within the device allows payment data to be transmitted to the vending machine’s contactless interface. Because the payment data is encrypted and no card details are sent to the machine, contactless vending payments are highly secure.

CCV supports contactless NFC payment solutions for vending that will allow you to accept all kinds of mobile payments, including those using digital smartphone wallets and QR codes. You can also set up the contactless system to accept staff or visitor ID cards for free vends, or even integrate contactless payments with a loyalty scheme.

CCV contactless vending solutions have numerous benefits for you and your customers. The speed and simplicity of a contactless transaction enhances the convenience of a vending machine. More and more European countries are abandoning cash in favour of electronic payments; in the Netherlands, the UK, Estonia, and Finland, for example, cash is used for less than a third of transactions. Offering a range of payment options in your vending machines, including contactless and NFC payments, ensures that all customers can pay as they want - and fewer transactions are abandoned.

Vending machines with contactless solutions also help improve the customer experience. With a CCV contactless payment system, you can offer loyalty schemes and recommend products to customers based on their data or demographic. As a vending machine operator, contactless payments can be integrated with your digital systems to provide valuable data insights. Manage supply so you never run out of the most popular products. Get to know your customers through the purchases they make. Vary pricing based on sales volume. These options open up with CCV’s smart contactless vending.
