The donation collection system based on VENDOTEK V was created by POSITRON, a partner of Terminal Technologies Group. Earlier, X5 Retail Group, together with the Line of Life charitable foundation, installed VENDOTEK V payment terminals in four Karusel hypermarkets in Moscow and the Moscow Region to collect donations for the treatment of seriously ill children.

Today, people are uncomfortable with throwing cash into a box; it's easier to tap a bank card, mobile phone with NFC, smart watch or fitness bracelet to a contactless POS terminal. The key feature of the solution on VENDOTEK V terminals is a user-friendly touch-screen interface with a choice of the donation amount.

Contactless payments are more attractive and technologically advanced than outdated payments in bills and coins. It is easier and more pleasant for people to tap a bank card than to look for cash. Unlike mobile applications, card donations do not require waiting for download, authorization and other lengthy unpleasant actions.

“Today, contactless payments by cards and mobile phones are becoming mandatory for all spheres of life. According to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the share of non-cash in retail is 70%. More than 50% of the population simply do not carry cash, so the automation of charity with VENDOTEK V POS terminals is becoming a modern trend and very convenient for collecting donations,” said DmitrIy Kornienko, CMO of Terminal Technologies Group.

New, bright, colorful VENDOTEK vending terminals and ticket validators designed by TERMINAL TECHNOLOGIES Group. All devices accept contactless payments with Visa, Mastercard, China UnionPay, MIR, MIFARE cards.

Only contactless models are equipped with bright cases: VENDOTEK T (valitek) validators, VENDOTEK VX terminals. The POS-terminal for vending VENDOTEK V3, equipped with contactless, contact and magnetic bank card readers, is produced in the standard black version.

The world is changing, and the growth of micro markets has become one of the key trends. Since the beginning of COVID-19, companies have abandoned corporate cafes and canteens. Micro markets reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission and minimize staff costs by providing automated catering in offices.

According to a recent study, micro markets generated over $7 billion in revenue in 2020, a 99.2% growth rate from 2012.  More than 50,000 new automated storefronts are expected to open in the next five years.

Terminal Technologies Group has developed 5 solutions for micro markets, kiosks and automated storefronts based on the VENDOTEK terminal. Simple payment by card and NFC is possible, as well as full management of self-service equipment.

Terminal Technologies Group products has been certified by China UnionPay. Guests from China and customers of Chinese banks will be able to pay for travel in Russian transport and purchases in vending using their cards.

The UnionPay system, whose cards are accepted in 179 countries around the world, is among the world leaders along with VISA, Mastercard, MIR. Terminal Technologies has developed the L2 library as part of the software to work with China UnionPay. VALITEK, TRANSITEK, VENDOTEK will allow tourists and partners from China to use cashless payments in Russia.

Today, it is especially important to accept China UnionPay cards at airports, hotels, retail chains, and transport. COVID-19 virus persists on cash for up to 24 hours, non-cash payments prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

"The development of trade relations with China requires the integration of payment systems. Many Russian banks are already issuing UnionPay cards, and leading retail chains are starting to accept them. Our vending terminals and transport validators will help tourists, business partners and all Bank card holders of the Chinese payment system," said Igor Sukhostavsky, CEO of Terminal Technologies Group.

Automated fare collection systems implemented by partners of Terminal Technologies Group are used not only in cities. Our contactless VENDOTEK T validators allow to pay with a Bank card for long-distance and suburban travel. The solution is implemented in the Belgorod and other regions of Russia.

When entering the bus, the passenger tap a Bank or transport card to the VENDOTEK T validator, and the GPS determines the initial coordinates. At the exit, you tap the card, and the coordinates of the end point are determined. The fare is calculated and collected automatically.

"Automation of payment for intercity and suburban transportation increases the profitability of transport companies. Cashless payments does not require a conductor. The COVID-19 coronavirus persists on banknotes for up to 24 hours, and contactless validators prevent infection through cash," said Igor Sukhostavskiy, СEO of Terminal Technologies Group.
