Lockable,
stable and tamper-proof: the Flexi-Stand EFT from ANKER provides more
security at the POS. This way, you effectively inhibit hidden attempts
at manipulation at payment terminals, and therefore prevent theft of
card data and PIN codes.
Skimming
– the spying on EC and credit cards for the purpose of generating card
copies with the stolen data – is not only a serious problem at ATMs, but
also at the POS. A common method is the secret exchange of the
installed card reader for a model which saves entered payment data and
forwards it to third parties – and thereby accesses the customer's
account. The Flexi-Stands from ANKER feature a wide variety of
protection measures against manipulation, starting with their highly
stabile construction of galvanized, two millimeter thick powder coated
steel – completely Made in Germany – ensuring for a long life cycle. All
elements of the stand are designed for maximum stability.
Depending
on individual needs, select the EFT stand with security level »medium«
or »high«. The medium variant features a mechanical sled system, which
you only open with a lot of brute force if you do not have the key.
Since such an attempt costs not only a lot of time and effort, but leads
to damages, this security measure makes successful (that means,
undetected) manipulation practically impossible. EFT stands with the
»high« level are just as robust and secure, and also include a security
lock which additionally keeps the mounted card reader protected against
unauthorized access. The Flexi-Stands are mounted to the POS counter
(or, as needed, to another location) and are not entirely removable.
The
tube system upon which the EFT holder sits is not only robust, but also
practical: inside, all power and connection cables are hidden, giving
the POS a tidier appearance. Less cable clutter means less dust
collection, which is an extra advantage particularly in the cosmetic and
food industry (including hospitality). Plus, you also reduce the
possibility of damage due to wear and tear or broken cables. Larger
plugs also easily fit inside the tube and are just as protected.
Since
payment terminal construction varies greatly from vendor to vendor,
ANKER has not developed just a single holder for all the models.
Instead, you have your choice between holders which are designed for all
common EFT brands, ensuring for optimal security for individually
designed POS areas. You also have the possibility of equipping all the
variants with a highly visible padlock – that allows potential skimmers
to see right away that the card reader is protected, and effectively
stop them in their tracks.
Despite its stability, the secure
terminal is by no means rigidly connected to the tube: users and
customers swivel it seamlessly in any direction, thanks to a practical
hinge. Inserting cards and operating the keypad are, of course, not
negatively influenced. Another plus: receipt printers which are directly
connected to the card reader are also compatible with the EFT stands
from ANKER, allowing for their further use. This provides for optimal
comfort at the payment terminal, without having to sacrifice on
security.
The Flexi-Stands come in elegant timeless black,
standard. ANKER also produces stands in other colors, upon request. This
allows you to optimally integrate the model into the existing area of
usage.
