Card Payment Solutions for Vending Machines

CCV card payment systems can be set up to accept all bank cards (debit and credit cards, whether chip-and-pin or contactless). We offer flexible payment solutions so you can take payments from all the bank cards relevant to your region. This includes all the major brands in Europe.

Despite the rise of contactless payments in Europe, payment infrastructure remains mixed. Some consumers, in Belgium, for example, are happy with their chip-and-pin cards and are slow to move towards contactless. Others, in the Netherlands, for instance, expect the contactless option when making a point-of-sale purchase. At CCV, we always take the unique needs of your business and audience into account when advising on card payment solutions for vending.

Yes, of course. At CCV we commit to working with you to identify the right payments system for your vending business, and that includes combining cash and card payments when required. Nonetheless, it’s worth bearing in mind that vending operators are increasingly opting for cashless systems. The benefits of non-cash vending include a rise in impulse purchases, increased convenience and customer satisfaction, and streamlined operations with smart vending machines. 

As a vending machine operator, you want to offer customers a range of convenient payment solutions, in order to maximise the number and value of vends – and grow your business. At CCV, we work with you to make your business successful, by providing tailored payment solutions that you can depend on.

No matter which card payment methods your customers prefer, we’ll ensure you can accommodate them. You can install a card payment interface with pin-pad, for all chip-and-pin credit or debit card transactions. In addition, an NFC reader will let you accept contactless card payments. We guarantee the highest security for your customers’ payment data.

Card payment solutions don’t stop at bank cards. You can take advantage of a “captive audience” – for example, in a school or workplace – with closed-loop cards. Set up the cards so they can be topped up online or at a central terminal, or work with an organisation to provide complimentary vends for employees and visitors. Alternatively, loyalty cards will help incentivise customers to visit your vending machines when they are on the go. Gift cards are another creative solution to gain new customers, as these can be programmed to become loyalty cards before or after the funds are spent.

Electronic payments, such as card and contactless payments, also present the opportunity for more efficient operations. Smart vending machines connected to a central network can easily communicate the need for restocking or maintenance. You can even gain invaluable sales insights regarding most popular products and peak purchase times.
