EMV Kiosks & PCI Compliant Payment Kiosk Tech

EMV Kiosk Card Readers, PIN Pads and Contactless Readers 2015

The following is a list of EMV capable card readers, PIN pads and contactless card readers that are designed specifically for self-service environments like a kiosk. As we’re beginning research and development on adding EMV capabilities to our US-based kiosk applications it makes sense to take inventory of the available EMV capable devices specifically designed for the self-service kiosk industry and weigh all of our options. This is why I’m taking the time to assemble this list of EMV capable payment devices which will likely grow as the looming October 2015 EMV liability shift draws nearer.

Which EMV hardware should I buy for my kiosks so I don’t have to replace it in the next 3 years?

This is a good question that is discussed in the video of the 2014 CPI EMV technology panel below. The answer boils down to personal preference. CPI makes the point that just because a card reader is EMV capable doesn’t mean your entire solution will be EMV compliant. Your entire solution needs to receive end-to-end EMV certification and according to MEI this has not happened in the US using the MEI 4-in-1 at the time this video was recorded. I’m not here to recommend EMV hardware for your kiosks just to spell out the options, so watch the video for more information and form your own opinions. We plan to add EMV support to KioskSimple kiosk software for Windows in 2015.
