PAX D195 Mobile MiniPOS Terminal

A compact, keypad-first payment terminal built for quick handoffs, accept tap, chip & PIN, and swipe with flexible connectivity and modern PCI security.

Small Device, Big Mobility

The PAX D195 is a handheld MiniPOS designed for businesses that need portable checkout without committing to a full-size SmartPOS. It pairs a 2.4″ color display with a familiar physical keypad and supports NFC contactless, EMV chip & PIN, and magnetic stripe transactions.

It’s best for quick transactions in tight spaces, counter hopping, curbside, tableside, delivery, transportation, and pop-ups.

Why Merchants Choose the PAX D195

Great for Fast Handoffs The D195 keeps interaction simple with 15 physical keys (0-9, F1, F2, Enter, Clear, Cancel). For teams that prefer tactile input over touchscreens, this can reduce the learning curve and maintain consistent checkout across shifts.
“Right-Size” Connectivity for Mobile Selling The D195 can be configured to match your business's payment acceptance, with dual-band Wi-Fi for reliable in-store mobility, optional 4G Cat-1 connectivity for payments on the go, and optional Bluetooth 5.0 support for specific deployment needs.
Security Built for Today’s Requirements The D195 is listed with PCI PTS 6.x SRED and supports EMV L1 & L2, as well as major contactless programs such as Mastercard Contactless and Visa payWave.
Lightweight Hardware That’s Easy to Deploy in Numbers At about 185g and 129 × 71 × 17mm, it’s easy for staff to hand to customers or keep at the ready for line-busting and roaming checkout.
Visual Capture – Built-In Need basic visual capture (for certain QR-based or ID/record workflows, depending on your payment app)? The D195 supports an optional 0.3MP camera, and an optional touch screen is also listed for some configurations.
