MicroTouch expands behind-glass Tap to Pay to more Mach Android all-in-ones

MicroTouch is adding EMV-certified NFC Tap to Pay and PIN on Glass support to its 15.6-inch and 21.5-inch Mach Android all-in-one touch computers. The upgrade is aimed at faster, more secure checkout in retail, hospitality and self-service settings without external payment hardware.

Why it matters: - MicroTouch’s expanded NFC option gives retailers and hospitality operators a way to accept contactless payments directly on the terminal. - The behind-the-glass design reduces countertop clutter and removes the need for a separate payment device. - PIN on Glass support broadens the platform’s use in payment flows that require customer PIN entry.

What happened: - MicroTouch announced expanded availability of integrated NFC Tap to Pay on its Mach Android 15.6-inch and 21.5-inch all-in-one touch computers. - The announcement was made Sept. 15, 2026, in Maryville, Tennessee. - The new offering uses EMV Level 1-certified NFC integrated behind the glass. - The system supports secure contactless payments at the point of interaction without an external payment device.

The details: - The Mach Android all-in-one computers are positioned for demanding commercial environments. - The NFC reader is integrated behind the terminal glass for a cleaner front-of-house design. - The reader uses the native Android command interface to work with leading SoftPOS providers. - The behind-the-glass setup can help guide users to the card placement area for easier checkout. - The design can also make skimming harder because a fraudulent external reader cannot be placed over the terminal glass. - The Mach all-in-one with NFC also supports PIN on Glass, letting users enter a PIN on the touchscreen when required. - The expanded offering extends behind-the-glass NFC across additional Mach Android all-in-one configurations. - The company had previously introduced integrated payment capabilities on its Mach POS platform.

Between the lines: - MicroTouch is packaging payments, display and touch input into a single device to simplify deployment for merchants and software partners. - The move targets both traditional checkout lanes and self-service kiosks, where flexible payment hardware matters. - The company is also signaling that design and security are part of the buying decision, not just payment acceptance. - Gary Dalton, director of product management at MicroTouch, said embedded EMV-certified NFC helps support secure contactless payments without compromising design, durability, performance or counter space, and can reduce acquisition and support costs.

What's next: - MicroTouch’s expanded Mach Android payment support is now available across the newly announced all-in-one configurations. - The company says the platform is built to adapt to a wide range of retail and hospitality use cases. - MicroTouch directs readers to more information for additional product details.
