The local credit car acquirer Global Payments has recently announced an upgrade on all of its PoS (Point of Sale) terminals to accept purchases of up to €50.

In a statement, Global Payments said the new feature would help to minimise the spread of COVID-19 because it allows cardholders to tap heir card against the payment terminal, rather than enter their PIN into the keypad. The idea behind the move is to limit contact as much as possible.

The company also said the new limit is ideal for outlets delivering their goods and services and who are making use of the Global Payments mobile payment devices.

Global Payments’ merchants whose shops are presently closed, are to contact Global Payments on 22265656 once they re-open, so that their PoS Terminals may be updated with this new feature.
