POS terminal special services and innovative solutions
In order to meet the ever-changing needs of consumers and to serve merchants as seamlessly as possible, the following special services are available at POS terminals provided by K&H (these will require a contract amendment).
DCC - dynamic currency conversion service for foreign customers
Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) is an innovative service that allows foreign cardholders to pay in their own currency at K&H POS terminals. The POS terminal automatically detects the use of a foreign-issued card that is eligible for DCC and automatically offers the cardholder the choice to pay in HUF or in their own currency. In the latter case, the POS terminal converts the HUF amount of the purchase into the currency of the card used for the payment at the exchange rate set by K&H and, if the cardholder accepts the amount thus calculated, the amount displayed on the POS terminal during the payment is debited from their bank account. This makes the use of the card in Hungary completely transparent, so that cardholders can spend their money with a maximum sense of security. The merchant will still receive the amount of the transaction in HUF, regardless of the currency chosen by the foreign cardholder.
MO/TO (telephone mail order) and pre-authorisation for bookings and funds checks for hotels and car rental companies
If a customer orders a service in person or with the card not present (e.g. hotel reservation, car rental)
- where the exact amount is not known in advance,
- or if a deposit is required as a security for a possible claim,
- or if the accepting party wishes to verify the solvency of the customer in advance,
it is possible to request a pre-authorisation. The customer's account will not be debited with the amount of the pre-authorisation, it will only be reserved. The cardholder will not have access to this reserved amount until the merchant completes or cancels the pre-authorisation via the POS terminal.
The MasterCard and VISA transaction ID (Trace ID) makes it even easier to manage pre-authorisations by assigning a unique identification number to the payment transaction related to the same event (e.g. hotel stay, car rental). Its biggest advantage is that all pre-authorisations and related transactions are processed on-line, i.e. instantly, and a customer copy of the receipt is printed in the case of transaction cancellations, thus reducing guest complaints for unreleased amounts.
tip handling at POS terminals
You do not have to forego tipping, either, when your customers pay by card as the POS terminals provided by K&H bank card acceptance allow you to set up the tipping function.
If the cardholder wishes to give you a tip, its amount can be entered separately at the POS terminal at the same time as the payment, and the cardholder's account will be debited with the sum of the payment plus the tip.
booking a goods refund transaction at the POS terminal
When a cardholder returns the goods for any reason, the merchant will be able to use the goods receipt function at the POS terminal provided by K&H card acceptance to refund or credit the full or partial amount of the underlying transaction to the customer.
cross-border card acceptance service
For our merchants who also operate in abroad, our physical POS terminal provides a solution for single service provider transactions.
- countries: Germany, Austria, Croatia, Slovakia
- currency of settlement: euro (EUR)
- transaction types: purchase, cancellation (storno), refund, reversal
