YEREVAN, June 21. /ARKA/. VTB Bank (Armenia) has put into operation a new generation of technologically modernized POS-terminals and special auxiliaries that enable customers to make contactless payments for purchase of goods and services without having to enter their PIN-codes, thus simplifying the payment process as much as possible.
According to a Bank’s press release, to make an instant cashless payment customers should simply tap their cards against a contactless enabled terminal. Thus, this technology enables clients to make payments as quickly, easily and safely as possible in any trade outlet equipped with VTB Bank (Armenia) POS-terminal. The list of trade outlets is here.
If the transaction amount does not exceed 10,000 Armenian drams, there is no need to tap the card through the terminal, enter the PIN-code and sign the payment receipt , which further simplifies the payment process.
VTB Bank (Armenia) has created all the necessary prerequisites for the development of non-cash payments, simplifying the life of both cardholders and owners of trade outlets.
Earlier, in August 2017 the bank launched its first contactless cards. Today, due to increased customer demand, the bank has managed to switch more than one-third of its card portfolio to non-contact technology.
In order to improve the quality of servicing of trade outlets with its POS terminals, VTB Bank (Armenia) has also launched a new 24-hour service for consulting owners and employees of outlets on all issues related to servicing both payment cards and the POS terminals. This innovation will help the employees of retail outlets to service payment cards with more confidence.
