Nayax, a global commerce enablement, payments and loyalty platform, has continued the evolution of its unattended platform with the introduction of VPOS Media 4, a PIN-capable payment terminal.
The device will help to support the UK’s unattended retail and self-service market as it continues to expand beyond traditional low-value vending and into sectors such as EV charging, parking, kiosks and laundromats, with around 80% of UK vending machines now supporting cashless payments.
VPOS Media 4 is an Android-based payment terminal that supports both contactless and chip-and-PIN transactions, with a built-in touchscreen designed for fully unattended environments. As part of Nayax’s integrated commerce platform, it combines payment processing, device management, loyalty programmes and consumer engagement tools within a single ecosystem.
Beyond payment acceptance, VPOS Media 4 functions as an intelligent commerce hub that enables operators to run promotions, manage devices remotely and monitor performance in real-time, helping businesses enhance customer engagement while maintaining full operational control.
Built on an open API architecture, the device supports all major payment methods, including EMV, NFC and QR codes.
As the unattended retail and self-service markets expand into higher-value sectors, and more physical locations are shifting towards 24/7 self-service, operators are facing increasing compliance and infrastructure demands as well as rising operational and labour costs.
Businesses now need to ensure PCI DSS compliance, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) or valid exemptions, secure encryption, reliable connectivity and ongoing fraud monitoring, while many are also replacing ageing hardware as the UK’s 2G and 3G networks are phased out.
These changes are driving demand for payment technology that can support both seamless contactless payments and secure PIN-authenticated transactions, while enabling more efficient and scalable operations.
Yair Nechmad, CEO and Chairman at Nayax, said: “Many legacy unattended terminals were designed for low-value vending transactions and are not equipped for high-value PIN payments, evolving compliance requirements or telecom network sunset resilience.
“As unattended services expand into areas like EV charging, parking and kiosks, operators need payment technology capable of supporting larger transactions securely and reliably. The introduction of VPOS Media 4 extends Nayax’s capabilities in the UK and enables us to further address these challenges while allowing our operators to move beyond payments and into engagement-led revenue growth opportunities.
“We’re proud that our latest product innovation strengthens both Nayax’s UK footprint and supports the growth of the unattended market in the UK.”
VPOS Media 4 is the first Nayax terminal to integrate PCI PTS 6.x certified PIN-on-Glass technology with a 4-inch colour touchscreen, enabling merchants to operate in higher-value and regulated environments.
The device also supports remote configuration, over-the-air updates and future-ready connectivity, helping operators to mitigate telecom network shutdown risks. Its open, API-driven Android architecture also enables larger operators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop custom applications while remaining integrated with Nayax’s secure payments infrastructure.
