4 Steps to Reducing Exposure
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) “Studies suggest that some viruses
may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days.”
1 Implement Cashless & Contactless Payments
-
The WHO has cautioned that paper money can be contaminated with virus.
-
The WHO also advises consumers to use contactless payments to minimize risk of contracting the virus.
2 Use a Customer-Facing Terminal
-
Many traditional payment terminals require clerks and customers to pass credit cards, increasing potential contact with the virus.
-
With a customer-facing terminal, the credit cards remain in the hands of consumers, minimizing contact with the virus.
3 Sanitize Payment Terminals
-
Many payment terminals are difficult to clean due to their form factor and materials used on the screen and keypad.
-
A terminal that features a glass display surface and hard acrylic keys is easy to clean and disinfect.
4 No Signatures Required
-
Traditional terminals require clerks and customers to exchange pen and paper to sign receipts, which increases exposure.
-
Removing the signature requirement eliminates this physical exchange, minimizing contact, while a digital receipt is still available to the customer.
