Accessibility-Focused POS Systems : payment terminal solutions

Ingenico has developed a comprehensive suite of payment terminal solutions that are specifically engineered to address accessibility challenges in financial transactions.

Ingenico point-of-sale terminals offer both passive accessibility features, like clearly marked contactless payment zones, and active assistance modes that can be triggered automatically via headset detection or manually through specific gestures. The company’s systems incorporate multiple sensory interfaces, including tactile keypads with distinctive raised markers, optimized visual displays featuring high-contrast colors and enlarged text, plus intuitive audio guidance through text-to-speech functionality.

The design of Ingenico’s payment terminal solutions strives to create a payment experience that maintains full security protocols while removing traditional barriers faced by users with visual or motor impairments. The technology complies with current European Accessibility Act standards through built-in hardware and software capabilities.
