Touch-Free
Touch-Free EMV
Whether you choose to integrate with Tenerum or have Tenerum integrate with your existing system, our Touch-Free solutions offer a seamless implementation of EMV devices. Simply position the device next to your POS or PMS workstation, and you're ready to go.
Secure by design
Card data never touches your POS or PMS
The Touch-Free EMV device connects directly to the Tenerum Gateway. By aligning payment data from the EMV device with transaction details sent from the POS/PMS system, the solution completes the payment request while entirely removing sensitive card data from the POS/PMS environment.
Upon transaction completion, the Tenerum Gateway delivers PCI-compliant information to the POS/PMS — including tender type, authorization code, and a token for future adjustments — giving the merchant full control over transactions, with the gateway serving as the intermediary between the POS/PMS and the EMV device.
How Touch-Free EMV works
