Lilitab LLC announced today that it has partnered with VeriFone Systems Inc. on the development of a new Apple MFi-certified self-service payment kiosk, the Lilitab Pro-V.

The co-branded payment kiosk incorporates VeriFone's payment technology for secure transactions with Lilitab's patented Lilitab Pro tablet enclosure. Through the use of the fully integrated card reader, merchants can reduce their PCI scope with VeriFone's end-to-end encryption solution, Verishield Total Protect, Secured by RSA, according to a news release.

Lilitab Pro-V payment kiosks can be used for assisted selling and as line-busting mobile payment terminals, with their MagDock locking head unit. The Lilitab Pro-V Surface unit swivels 180 degrees for seamless touchscreen interactions between customers and staff, the release said. The Lilitab Pro-V provides secure payments through any iPad 2 or 3rd generation device.

Lilitab and VeriFone are working together on additional products, including a Lilitab Pro-V to work with iPad 4th generation devices and the new iPad Air, which connect using the Lightning Connector.

"The growing market for self-service ordering and payment represents a significant opportunity for merchants to provide great new experiences to their customers," said Dennis Mos, general manager of the OEM Product Group for VeriFone. "VeriFone's security technology, combined with Lilitab's beautiful and innovative design, creates a compelling self-service offering for merchants of all sizes."
