ID Tech rolls out SRED contactless EMV reader

January 19, 2017

ID Tech, a manufacturer of secure payment solutions, has released its newest NFC-contactless EMV reader, the Vivopay Kiosk III SRED.

The Kiosk III SRED is the industry's first contactless-only module conforming to the PCI secure reading and exchange of data standard. The device also features tamper detection and PCI PTS 4.X certification, according to a press release.

According to the PCI Security Standards Council, a SRED module "ensures that cardholder account data is protected at the point of acceptance, which will assist in meeting the required security considerations of the wider point-to-point security process."

ID Tech's SRED version (like the non-SRED Kiosk III) serves the unattended market of ATMs, drive-thrus, kiosks, and other self-serve applications. It will also pair up with the existing weather-proof, ruggedized antenna, which has an IP 65 rating.

The device features a durable design with the flexibility to integrate contactless payments into practically any indoor or outdoor application, the company said.

“[T]he Kiosk III SRED version provides our customers with a solution that supports the latest certifications and provisions them for years to come,” said Justin Ning, VP of product management at ID Tech.
