M2M payment: Automated payments for maximum flexibility

M2M (machine-to-machine) payment describes the direct, automated communication between payment terminals and banks - without any manual intervention. For retailers, payment service providers and operators of vending machines or self-service solutions in particular, a stable connection is crucial to ensure secure, fast and uninterrupted transactions.

With an M2M SIM, POS terminals are connected at all times regardless of the network and enable reliable card payments - whether in stores, at petrol stations, in vending machines or at mobile retailers.

This means maximum flexibility, reliability and easy scalability for anyone developing or using smart payment solutions.
