Card-Trak™ Secure Card Reader & Payment Capture System
This product is only available for custom order.
Bellatrix Systems developed and manufactures an innovative, weather-hardened credit card reader and payment transfer technology (Card-Trak) that is used by the newspaper and other industries requiring battery powered, durable outdoor card-based payment capture mechanisms.
Our weather-resistant credit card reader systems feature:
- Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliancy for security, data integrity and privacy.
- Industry-approved AES 128 bit-encryption and multiple layers of password protection to ensure ultra-secure storage of transaction data.
- Proprietary infrared (IR) communications technology, which provides an extra layer of security by only allowing credit card transaction data to be retrieved via a secure custom PDA device.
- Advanced proprietary software on the back-end for efficient and reliable round-trip transaction processing – from the reader to the appropriate merchant services company for payment and finally to the vendor’s bank account.
Card-Trak card reader technology offers the following advantages:
- Accepts remote credit card transactions without incurring expensive on-line communication costs, including micro-transactions.
- Reduces card processing fees to an industry low of $0.05 each plus 5% of the vending price, with typical monthly fees of $30.00 regardless of the number of vending units in service.
- Offers low-energy, all-weather, self-contained card-reader hardware that operates continuously for years and is available in self-powered (Lithium battery-operated) or AC/DC-powered configurations.
- Provides mounting to any flat surface by just two bolts, which allows for easy integration into new designs or retro-fitting onto existing units.
- Uses rugged, customized PDA units for retrieving transactional data, keeping this data safe and secure.
- The ability to set up the system to accept date-restricted “gift cards” specific to a particular vendor (example: a card that is good for one month).
Bellatrix offers low-cost, efficient card reader/swipe and payment data collection technology for industries that benefit from accepting credit card payments remotely, including the newspaper and vending machine industries.
