Popular Credit Card Machines
Filed in: Credit Card Equipment |
These are some of the most popular credit card machines that are currently being sold and used in the US.
The main brands being used in the US are Verifone, Hypercom, and Lipman. All three companies have terminals that are well suited for just about any business. Lipman is by far the leader in wireless processing with three wireless terminals in circulation. While Verifone has been the most popular brand in the past, Lipman and Hypercom are quickly gaining market ground in the US.
Entry Level Terminals:
Lipman Nurit 2085
Verifone Omni 3200SE
Hypercom T7Plus
High End Terminals:
Lipman Nurit 3020
Verifone Omni 3740 & 3750
Wireless Terminals:
Lipman Nurit 3010
Lipman Nurit 8000 & 8000G
From customer feedback with different terminals, I have to recommend the Lipman brand terminals for all businesses unless a merchant needs to process over an IP connection. For IP enabled processing the Omni 3740 and Omni 3750 both of which are great terminals, are the only option.
All of these terminals have withstood the test of reliability, price and functionality. I would recommend any of them.
Some terminals that are quickly gaining popularity are the Lipman Nurit 8320, the Verifone Omni 3730 and 3730LE. The 3730 series terminals are very low cost and have the same features as terminals that cost much more.
