Next, you need to consider user security, since bill-payment kiosks deal with sensitive information. “At a minimum, this means your kiosk needs to meet EMV standards. Bill-payment kiosks need to have an EMV-certified payment system. This means that the data is encrypted from the moment the card is entered, through the kiosk, the gateway, the processor, and the vendor,” said Laura Miller, director of marketing, KioWare Software. In addition, you also need to keep your software and hardware up to date to close security loopholes.
One way to keep your kiosk secure is to use kiosk software to lock down the kiosk and prevent hackers from messing with sensitive data. “Kiosks need to be secured with kiosk software if they are going to be handling sensitive information, particularly of a financial nature. Anything else is a poor substitute that can put users and organizations at risk for data theft or leakage,” Miller said. “Kiosk software is built exactly for this purpose, with file download blocking, browser lockdown, clearing of private data, resetting the browser between users, and EMV-supported payment encryption to secure payment data.”
Bill-payment kiosks can provide great benefits to retail customers, as long as you keep the basics of availability, security and customer experience in mind.
