According to Retail Banking Reaearch, the number of self-service checkouts is set to quadruple over the next five years.
Protouch said that the solutions will be geared toward supermarkets, rail stations and cinemas that want to offer self-service chip-and-PIN credit and debit card payments.

Tom Quarry, managing director of ProTouch, says the solution will help retailers meet consumers' self-service expectations:
With self-service payments becoming the norm, we wanted to give retailers an easy-to-deploy solution that ticks all the boxes and that you could practically buy off the shelf.
YesPay's EMBOSS payment service is fully preaccredited with multiple card acquirers within the U.K. and Republic of Ireland and is PCI DSS Level 1-approved. The system delivers transaction authorization in three to five seconds, and at the end of the day retailers can access and download real-time transaction reports.
