The Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken is developing into an omnichannel bank of the future.
With its virtual product shelf called "VR eKiosk," a promising project is now entering the pilot phase across Germany.
To ensure that the payment process is as secure and convenient as possible, the VR eKiosk relies on the cVEND PIN from FEIG.
The new VR eKiosk self-service POI is intended to create new opportunities for selling digital goods and services such as vouchers, tickets or SIM cards.
One of the many highlights this system offers is for regionally active companies to market their goods and services directly to local customers in the respective area.
The entire sales process – starting with the product selection, through to identity check and up to the payment processing – all takes place unattended, i.e. as a self-checkout procedure run solely by the customer’s interaction with the eKiosk station.
All VR eKiosks are equipped with FEIG‘s cVEND PIN pin pad for barrier-free and flexible card payment.
Thereby, amounts can be paid contactless and swiftly.
Thanks to TA 7.2 and DC POS 3.0 approvals by the Deutsche Kreditwirtschaft, Germany‘s girocard, as well as all major international credit and debit cards and mobile NFC-payment applications such as Google Pay or Apple Pay are readily available for card acceptance.
An integrated PINpad for direct PIN entry enables secure payment of amounts larger than €50.
Utilizing the cVEND SHCR hybrid card reader, payment via magstripe or chip cards is done seamlessly.
All FEIG cVEND terminal are certified according to the highest current approvals requirements such as e.g. PCI 5.x and EMVCo Level 1 and Level 2 certifications.
This means the VR eKiosk top-notch interactive service and payment security all along the way– and therefore becomes an attractive addition to the self-service point of interaction at numerous VR branches across Germany.
