Welcome to IGT
IGT is an identity and payments solution that provides customers an effortless way to identify and pay at a variety
of brick-and-mortar retail experiences. IGT associates customer identity with the transaction, feeding into existing
rewards or loyalty programs, and removes friction and time spent at the checkout counter.
Once set up, a first-time customer will insert their credit card into the device and hover their palm above the
device to sign up. Any subsequent visits to any store that uses IGT, the customer will simply hover their palm over
the device to pay and a text receipt is sent to their phone.
IGT is a simple set-up process that connects it to an existing POS system in a store.
Supported Point-of-Sale (POS) Systems
IGT supports any POS that supports contactless
Europay, MasterCard and Visa
(EMV).
How It Works
The near field communication (NFC) antenna communicates with both the palm scanner device via Bluetooth and
a retail merchant’s payment terminal via a separate NFC antenna. The Device Electronics Module comprises
electronics necessary for NFC crypto-authentication, an NFC radio transceiver, and Bluetooth Low Energy radio
transceiver that provides a secure communication channel between the palm scanner and a merchant’s payment
reader.
