How does Ingenico ensure security and compliance for self-service payments?
Ingenico self-service terminals are certified to PCI PTS standards (latest models: v6), which cover hardware security and PIN entry requirements.
Key protection features include:
- Tamper detection and response — terminals are rendered inoperable if a breach is attempted.
- Encrypted PIN entry to safeguard sensitive data.
- Secure key storage and support for Remote Key Injection (RKI) for faster, safer key updates.
- PCI-validated P2PE support, which encrypts cardholder data from the point of interaction and simplifies PCI DSS compliance for merchants.
- Secure estate management tools for remote firmware updates, configuration changes, and patch deployment.
Security is maintained throughout the device lifecycle, from initial deployment to decommissioning.

- Tactile keypads with distinct, raised keys for PIN entry.
- High-contrast color displays for better readability in bright or low-light conditions.
- Scalable font sizes for customers with visual impairments.
- Optional audio guidance through built-in or external speakers to assist blind or partially sighted users.
