gollark: I would be worried about the networking between the payment terminals and central server, too - if it's not secured properly people could intercept it and/or run attacks on it.
gollark: You *don't* trust the payment terminals, because people can go around editing the code on them to do basically whatever, and they have to read the card and contact the bank server.
gollark: You trust the central server but it can't actually physically be there to handle every transaction somehow.
gollark: You trust the card but it's a blind data storage device which can't compute or do networking.
