RFID Reader Embedded in Vending Machines

The e-Port cashless payment terminal system from USA Technologies is being installed in about 500 beverage, snack, and sundry vending machines across New York City and Atlanta, reports The Wireless Weblog.

"The e-Port terminals have been enhanced with an RFID reader that accepts contactless payments from any credit or debit card carrying the MasterCard PayPass, American Express ExpressPay, Chase blink or Visa Contactless logo.

Encrypted account data is passed between the e-Port RFID-enabled terminal and the payment card.

The terminals are also being used in self-service laundries, as well as in kiosks where you can buy bus or train tickets as well as event tickets."
