eService is a part of PKO Bank Polski and EVO which makes it the biggest billing agent in Central-Europe. It operates over 535k Payment Terminals in 11 Europenian counties and is on the market for over 20 years. eService’s payment transaction acceptance services are available in stores, on the Internet and in mobile applications, in all European Union markets and abroad.
After successful story of Interface Design for the Ingenico Terminals and the portable D220 for eService, we got the opportunity to design interfaces for all new portable Payment Terminals and Self-Service Terminals. Below is the result of our cowork presented on: PAX devices A920, A920Pro, A50, and Ingenico Self Series. Near future there are more models to be added to the family, such as: PAX A800 or PAX IM30.
We started working on the flagship PAX A920 — a portable, touchscreen Terminal with integrated printer operting on top of Android.
Thank to the feature-reachness of the app we’ve had an oportunity to influence its Information Architecture so the End-User gets a Product that has a clear logican structure.
Then we have enriched all sales transactions with vector-based animations of card-usage methods, and in key messages, such as informing about the success of the transaction or its rejection, we used vector-animated icons as well.
Each item on the Menu list was enriched with a dedicated custom icon.
All animations in the UI are Vector-Based (super-crisp):
1. Ways to use the card (image below)
2. Transaction-Results (Accepted, Rejected)
3. Question mark that appears when there is some decision to make
4. Spinner that appears at times of processing, connecting, etc.
It is challenging how to deal with the transaction rejection with delicacy.
Our main challenges were:
1. To be legible
2. To be delicate
-Especially with regards to rejection’s rare frequency.
Our Client reported about cases that the rejection transaction screen was not contrasting enough which caused some mechants not seeing the screen when the case occured. For those merchants we came up with contrast shown below.
Another thing we think deseves its spot are the animated SMILEYS that show-up at the end of successful transaction. Smileys were first introduced with PAX D220 Terminals in 2018 and since they have been positively welcomed by the Customers, Client decided to use them in new devices as well 😊.
Everybody has the Dark Mode / Light Mode switch. So do we 😎
Our UI has also been implemented across all Evo brands (Central-Europe). -Recolored with respect to each brand’s unique voice.

Part of the project was also to design a visually consistent interface for Self Series Terminals that can be used, e.g. on self-service petrol stations or in vending machines. We present some examples of our work below👇. Cashless.pl has written some insightful words about the app. -You might wanna go and check it out.
