Device for conducting transactions using smart cards and method for conducting a transaction with said device

Abstract

Abstract Device for conducting monetary transactions with smart cards such as bank cards comprising, in a housing (120), a coupler (121) for smart cards, a slot (121a) located at the coupler for partial insertion of a smart card, a keypad (122) for inputting at least one confidential code associated with a card inserted into the coupler, and means for processing and validating the transaction. According to the invention, the slot (121a) is adjacent to a keypad (122) edge, and the coupler and the slot are positioned so that a portion (CAM2) of the card remaining outside the housing after partial insertion extends at least partially above the keypad (122), thereby forming a screen during inputting of the code to protect its confidentiality.
