Overview

Access Control within the system allows for the allocation of benefits to a specific group of cardholders. This feature empowers administrators to precisely define the criteria and conditions that must be met in specific locations for cardholders to receive these benefits. For instance, administrators can select a particular card type, such as MC Gold, issued by a specific country and bank. Furthermore, the system facilitates the provision of these benefits free of charge, both for the cardholder and their accompanying guests.

In certain scenarios, alongside complimentary access, administrators have the flexibility to establish special pricing structures for benefits upon meeting specific conditions. This means that, in some cases, individuals may qualify for benefits by fulfilling specific criteria while incurring a reduced cost.

The system's additional functionality includes spend-based control, enabling administrators to monitor a program participant's spending behavior. This feature allows for the creation of conditions like spending a minimum of 100 euros within a 30-day period at sports stores to qualify for complimentary stadium entry.

Terminal User’s Flow

Prior to granting access or benefits, local staff members are required to confirm the identity of the cardholder. This manual verification step ensures that the correct individual is accessing the designated area or service.

The cardholder initiates the process by tapping their payment card on the Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal. This action triggers the authorization process, validating the card's eligibility for access or benefits.

The POS terminal communicates the number of available visits or benefits associated with the card to the cardholder. This information helps the cardholder understand their benefits and make decisions.

Once the cardholder's eligibility is established, the POS terminal confirms their entrance, granting access or providing the specified benefits. This step marks the successful completion of the Access Control process.
