Ingenico and Ryanair will initially install the chip and pin payment system in all its London (Stansted) based kiosks and roll out the development across its Barcelona (Girona), Belfast, Frankfurt (Hahn) and Marseille bases. As part of a three‐year contract with Ryanair, Ingenico has provided a complete transaction management system for the inital rollout of 250 unmanned kiosks, with plans to grow to 450 kiosks. It comprises the AXIS electronic payment system, centralised hosting of the transaction management system and PIN pads. The solution enables the kiosks to be fully compatible with PCI‐DSS guidelines, as well as those set by Visa and MasterCard for secure payments. This ensures that passengers can pay for any additional extras whilst checking in, negating the need to go to another terminal kiosk to pay. “The Ryanair kiosks are unique in the airline field, as they have integrated payment mechanisms, which enable both chip and PIN as well as magnetic stripe payments to be made at the terminals, in a fully PCI (PCI‐PED, PCI‐DSS) compliant payment solution,” said Cillian Wright, Business Development Director, Ingenico. “This gives customers the peace of mind that transactions will be processed to the highest security standards. The provision of managed payment services provides Ryanair with a convenient and safe end‐to‐end transaction solution, giving them a significant advantage against other airlines.” www.ingenico.com
