4840 Ingenico, a French company specialising in payment solutions, has announced that its EFT930G wireless payment terminal has been selected by the Angolan Ministry of Home Affairs for the payment of traffic fines. Starting with a pilot in Luanda, this new payment method will allow drivers to pay fines with their own credit card, by authorising the amount, and then continue on their way.

Currently, 120 officers have been trained on this new POS solution and the number is set to increase in the near future. This new system will coexist with the previous one in order to allow drivers who are not equipped with a credit card to still pay their fines.

The EFT930 series combines a choice of rapid communication and connectivity options with 32-bit ARM 9 processing and state-of-the-art security. It allows any mobile payment method, including contactless, and smart and magnetic card readers, large backlit keypads and displays, rechargeable batteries, plus fast printers.
