Banking and finance keyboard considerations
Counter Space
The majority of the applications we satisfy have a pressure on the amount of space available to the keyboard. As a result we have become expert at providing compact designs, with full function keyboards as small as 27cm by 14cm.
Integrated Functionality
The integration of various data capture devices into the keyboard provides reduced cabling, less counter-top clutter and simpler installation and maintenance overhead.
A number of devices can be integrated in the the keyboard including: magnetic swipe readers (MSRs), cheque readers, pointing devices, such as touchpads and smart card and biometric log-on capability. OCR (optical character recognition) and MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) options are available to read E-13B compatible documents.
Ergonomics
The increase in legislation and sensitivity to operator health and safety has raised the priority of good keyboard design. By working alongside many blue-chip multi-national banks, we are familiar with the latest international requirements for health and safety.
Branding
Significant investments are made by our customers in their brand, and their brand image can be carried through to the keyboard as simply as adding the corporate logo or as far as matching the keyboard housing and keytops to the corporate colours.
Reliability
Reliability is built in to all products as standard. This begins with the use of high quality key switches that are designed to withstand 50 million operations. Contact is made half way along the key switch's 4mm travel, providing a high quality and responsive feel to the operator. All keyboards are built around a robust steel frame providing a strong back-bone to every design.
Biometrics
A new development for bank keyboard consideration is finger print reading. Integrated in the keyboard it can be used for secure log on allowing traceability of transactions and protection from identity theft for the operator.

Finger print modules are available for use on the customer side of bank counters.
