Brick Payment Terminals: Tap-to-Pay Charging Is Here
Brick now offers contactless payment terminals with screens, making it faster and easier for users to rent powerbanks at our Condo, Tower, and Skyscraper stations.
Since launching these terminals, we’ve seen a significant increase in rentals and better feedback from both users and venue staff. No app download, no registration, just tap and charge.

FAQs About Brick Payment Terminals
Do I need to replace my current station to use a terminal?
No. You can retrofit existing Condo, Tower, or Skyscraper models with a payment terminal.
Can users still use the app or scan a QR code if there’s a terminal?
Yes. Payment terminals are additive. Users can still rent via app or QR if they prefer.
Is the terminal secure and PCI-compliant?
Yes. All terminals meet current payment security standards and are updated remotely.
