The PayPDA is exclusively brought to you by Novo Ivc as a result of many months of testing and comparing all mobile hardware platforms applicable to the Travel Retail environment.

Our requirement was for a device which could not only perform under the extreme working conditions required for Travel Retail but could meet all the banking criteria surrounding processing secure chip and pin.

Last year, as a result of this research a distribution contract for Travel Retail was agreed with the manufacturer (and World No 1 in payment processing) Ingenico.

Ingenico were not only chosen as a strategic partner due to the brilliantly designed lightweight yet rugged terminal (The PayPDA) but because they were clearly at the very forefront of secure payment processing technology and already had strategic partnerships in place with all major banks.

(These existing relationships have proven to be key when embarking on the obligatory new system accreditation process and have proven to be invaluable in terms of speeding up what can sometime be a very lengthy process).

This goes some way to explain why The PayPDA ranks second to none in terms of secure chip and pin and contactless payment processing and comes with all EMV, PCI, APACS and Aircraft Safe certification required to safely store card data onboard and process it on the ground.

Using E2EE (end to end encryption) all card data can be secured on the pin pad (which remains entirely separate from the PDA part of the units at all times) while sales are made onboard. Once the plane has landed, payment services can be taken from behind the clients firewall and channelled through a PCI/DSS data centre straight to the acquiring bank for instant reconciliation.

This means that we are now in a position take full responsibility for your entire onboard retail technology requirements inclusive of providing secure chip and pin and contactless payment integrated with a security enabled hand held and 3DES encrypted SkyPOS software, leaving you to concentrate on your core business.

The PayPDA is also fully certified for Contactless Payment and NFC (Near Field Communication). Recent independent MasterCard surveys show a Contactless or NFC payment can reduce the length of a sale by 21 seconds when compared to cash. This provides the opportunity for a second service (where before maybe one was only possible) and the benefit of the additional revenue as a result.

Combined with Novo's SkyPOS software The PayPDA delivers a dependable yet innovative onboard retail solution whilst representing a fully future proofed investment
