Verifone recently announced the introduction of Navigator, the first-of-its-kind payment feature with a fully integrated touchscreen to earn certification for accessibility and usability by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).
Navigator meets PCI requirements, an information security standard mandated and administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council to reduce credit card fraud.
Merchants around the world face accessibility and inclusivity challenges to ensure that payment hardware and software can be easily utilized by all consumers. For blind and visually impaired consumers payment transactions present a unique challenge, particularly as payment devices continue to increasingly evolve toward touchscreens.
