CDS Now Supports NFC Transactions: Here’s What You Need to Know

The ATM industry continues to evolve, and staying ahead of the curve means adapting to new technologies that enhance user experience and transaction security. One of the most significant advancements in recent years is NFC (Near Field Communication)—a technology that enables fast, contactless payments through mobile wallets and tap-to-pay cards.

We’re excited to share that our processing partner, CDS, now fully supports NFC transactions across all ATMs processed through their platform. This marks a major step forward in modernizing ATM functionality for operators and end-users alike.

What’s New with CDS NFC Support?

As of today, CDS has completed the platform-level integration for NFC, meaning ATMs on their network can now process NFC transactions, including payments from:

  • Mobile Wallets
  • Contactless EMV chip cards

This update reflects a broader industry trend toward frictionless, mobile-first financial interactions—and offers ATM operators an opportunity to remain competitive and future-ready.

What You’ll Need to Enable NFC at the Terminal Level

While platform-level enablement has already been completed by CDS, enabling NFC at the terminal level requires two key components:

  • Compatible ATM Software
    Your ATM must be running a software version that supports NFC functionality. Currently supported versions include:
    -Genmega: 05.00.45
    -Hyosung: 06.03.11z
    -Triton: 04.02.05
  • An NFC Reader Module
    A certified NFC reader must be installed in your machine to accept mobile wallets and contactless card transactions. These readers are available for purchase directly at ATMTrader.com, and our team can help you ensure compatibility with your existing hardware.

Why NFC Matters for ATM Operators

If you haven’t upgraded your terminals to support NFC yet, here’s why you should consider it:

  • Faster transactions = shorter wait times for users
  • Enhanced security through tokenized payments
  • Attract more users who prefer mobile wallets and contactless cards
  • Differentiate your ATM locations in a competitive marketplace

As more banks and consumers embrace contactless tech, being NFC-enabled isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
