ATM Privacy Solution: How Rain Technology is Redefining Security

ATM Privacy Solution: Revolutionizing Security for Users

In a world where digital transactions are ubiquitous, safeguarding sensitive information has never been more crucial. Rain Technology introduces the ATM Privacy Solution, aimed at reducing the menace of visual hacking at ATMs.

Understanding the ATM Switchable Privacy

The groundbreaking ATM Switchable Privacy technology ensures that only 0.2% of the ATM screen is visible outside a 45-degree viewing angle. This significant reduction in visibility minimizes the risk of onlookers stealing consumers’ PINs. By embedding this feature within the liquid-crystal module of an ATM screen, Rain has made privacy more accessible during transactions.

Enhancing ATM Security

• This innovative solution works with leading ATM manufacturers like Diebold Nixdorf and NCR Atleos.
• It boasts a feature where the ATM can quickly revert to widescreen for marketing once privacy mode is off.
• Rain’s solution complements existing security measures, including biometric identification and protective hoods for PIN pad.

As Paul Treichler, head of sales and marketing for Rain, notes, “ATM Switchable Privacy adds another layer of privacy to existing ATM security.” This layered approach is essential to combat threats like 'shoulder surfing' in addition to the skimming risks associated with modern ATMs.

The Market Impact

With over 10 billion cash transactions processed at ATMs annually, the impact of enhanced security measures cannot be understated. Both consumers and ATM providers stand to gain from this innovative technology.

This ATM Privacy Solution is also applicable to POS terminals and computer manufacturers, ensuring a broad market adoption amidst growing concerns for data security.
