## Contactless Payments Reduce Virus Risk

---

The World Health Organization has advised “to use contactless payments   
to reduce the risk of transmission” of the virus.

- #### Contactless Payments
  
  Your staff doesn't need to handle credit cards, customers control how they pay.
- #### No Signatures Required
  
  Removing the signature requirement eliminates the need to touch the terminal.
- #### Receipt Exchange Removed
  
  Receipt exchange is handled digitally, no physical exchange necessary.

## 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.
