Worldline, a European payment and transactional services provider, is teaming up with long-term partner, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, a retail store technology provider, on a small footprint kiosk to provide secure payment processing.

The Pro-X Hybrid Kiosk, with payments processed via the Worldline LANE/3000 Terminal, allows retailers to reimagine store design and increase throughput capacity, according to a press release. It provides low-contact checkout for the convenience, specialty, small-format grocery and hospitality sector. The convertible POS technology gives a retailer the flexibility to immediately react on customer flow, while providing a secure shopping experience, the release said.

"The self-service industry continues to evolve as retailers across all retail segments invest in digital capabilities to support shoppers' expectations of low-contact checkout. We are delighted to work with Worldline to bring checkout innovation to retailers across the European marketplace. Now, they bring their payment expertise and Tetra Lane 3000 augmenting the Pro-X Hybrid Kiosk to provide a next-level checkout experience to customers," Rob Macintyre, European Business Development executive of Toshiba, said in the release.

The integrated LANE/3000 terminal meets the latest safety requirements for Payment Card Industry PIN Transaction Security (PCI-PTS) 6.x and Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE).

"As the way consumers want to pay is evolving, Worldline is committed to staying ahead of the game in order to keep our retailers relevant in this ever-changing market. That's why we are proud to continue our close cooperation as a trusted global payments leader with Toshiba. This partnership strengthens our joint ability to deliver innovative end-to-end solutions, and together we are creating an even stronger offering," Lee Jones, managing director, Northern Europe, GSV at Worldline, said in the release.

The Pro-X Hybrid Kiosk is in the pilot phase with a number of retailers across Europe, including a high-profile sports and fashion retailer.
