Card machines, also known as card readers, work by reading the data stored on a debit or credit card’s magnetic strip or chip. When a card is swiped, inserted or tapped against the reader, it captures the card details and communicates with the cardholder’s bank to authorise the transaction.
Chip and pin machines, also known as EMV terminals, verify the authenticity of a credit or debit card through a microchip embedded in the card and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) entered by the cardholder.
At NPI, we strive to ensure that your card reader transactions are processed as quickly as possible. While the transaction speed can vary depending on the type of machine and location, on average, a standard transaction can be approved within two seconds if input correctly.
Yes, chip and pin card machines are a secure and trusted method of payment. They use industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect sensitive information and prevent fraud. EMV technology provides an additional layer of security through the microchip on the card, making it difficult to clone or duplicate cards.
On average, you can expect a fully charged card reader battery to process over 650 transactions before requiring a recharge.
In the unlikely event of a problem, we have a 24/7 tech support team in place to assist you with any issues you may encounter with your card reader terminal. If you need a replacement terminal, our helpdesk support team can quickly arrange for a replacement to be couriered to your place of business within 24 hours.
We have a monthly rental charge from just €9.99 a month and transaction rates of 0.3%. Sign up for a call-back, and we will create a 100% free cost comparison for you today.
A wireless card reader is a portable card machine with a built-in 4G SIM or Wifi to maintain an internet connection.
One of the main benefits of using a portable card machine over a wired card reader is that the technology enables merchants to use the terminal anywhere in a range of up to 100m from their business.
Card readers are designed to accept a variety of payment cards, including credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, and loyalty cards.
Many card readers are compatible with mobile payment apps, allowing customers to make payments using their smartphones and mobile wallets.
A wired card reader is a type of payment terminal that needs a physical connection to access the internet. This type of card machine remains in one single location, like a register in a grocery store.
The cost of debit and credit card machines will vary depending on the features, type and the service provider. Our card reader models start as low as €10, and we provide businesses around Ireland with competitive monthly rates paired with the ideal card machines to suit.
The ongoing cost of having a card machine involves the initial payment fee and rental charge. There is also an additional service charge, but NPI have one of the best transaction rates in Ireland at just 0.3%. Factor in the amount of card machines for your business you intend to use, as well as what type the reader is, whether countertop, portable or mobile card machines.
The best card payment machine depends on the specific needs of a business. For small businesses, portable and mobile readers are popular thanks to their convenience and low upfront costs.
Larger businesses might prefer advanced POS systems that integrate inventory management and analytics. When choosing a card reader, consider factors like compatibility with payment methods, cost, user-friendliness and the quality of customer support provided by the vendor.
