1. This is Getronics/Ingenico TT41 – a multimodal POS terminal . Developed between 1999-2000.
Quite a remarkable machine at the time. It could handle all current ePayment means in Benelux
(smartcard, debit card, smartcard etc) both online and offline. I integrated Chipper - an IBM
smartcard eWallet on it. Chipper could hold 100 euro max and was reloaded with monetary value
using public card phones via an automated Netherlands PostBank phone service. TT41 was sold to
retailers by Barclays Bank. Profitability was achieved through the transaction processing fees
imposed on each retail transactionl, according to the sales volume processed on each POS terminal.
