PAX Technology Launches the A33: A New Generation Android PINpad for Retail & Hospitality Excellence

PAX Technology, the world's leading payment terminal solutions provider, announces the launch of the A33 Android PINpad, a sleek and powerful next-generation device engineered to meet the evolving demands of the retail, hospitality, and service industries.

As businesses continue to prioritize user-friendly, secure, and integrated payment experiences, the A33 PINpad with a classic dipcard chip reader and user-friendly angle emerges as the ideal companion to point-of-sale environments, alongside the already popular A35 PINpad. Compact yet feature-rich, the A33 is designed to transform in-store payment acceptance across fashion, food & beverage, and large-scale retail sectors.

Smart Design. Smarter Performance

Powered by PayDroid (based on Android 12) and built on a robust Cortex A53 Quad-Core processor, the A33 delivers fast and responsive performance. Its 4-inch square capacitive touchscreen, enhanced with a physical backlit keypad, provides a modern yet familiar interface for both customers and merchants.

With support for all major payment types - Chip & PIN, Contactless, and Magnetic Stripe - the A33 is PCI PTS 6.x and SRED certified, ensuring the highest level of transactional security.

Tailored for Seamless Integration

The A33 is available in two hardware configurations:

•  Version 1 with embedded ports for fixed installations, including LAN, USB, and RS232 connectivity.
• Version 2 offers a minimalist look, ideal for wireless connectivity installations, enhanced via an optional communications dongle.

The device supports WiFi (dual band) and Bluetooth 5.0, and optional 4G connectivity, making it a versatile solution for multilane retailers, quick-service restaurants, and compact countertop setups alike.

Built for the Enterprise

Boasting powerful device management via MAXSTORE, the A33 enables seamless software deployment, estate monitoring, and remote troubleshooting - lowering total cost of ownership and maximizing operational uptime. Its compact footprint (176 x 90 x 88 mm) and lightweight design (350g) ensure ergonomic installation, even in space-constrained checkout counters.

A Future-Proof Investment

“The A33 continues our mission to deliver intelligent Android-based payment solutions tailored to the real-world needs of merchants,” said Mark O’Flynn, EMEA region Sales Director at PAX Technology. “It blends performance, style, and security in one beautifully engineered package - perfect for today's dynamic retail environments.”

Andrew Wu, VP for the EMEA region at PAX Technology added “As retailers worldwide upgrade their estates to support omnichannel commerce and enhanced customer journeys, the A33 is positioned to play a pivotal role in enabling the future of payment acceptance”.
