All these terms refer to devices that process card payments. However, there are some small differences in their usage:

• Card reader: The most general term, which can also include devices that only read cards but do not necessarily process payments.

• Payment terminal: A common term for devices that are used specifically for card payments.

• Electronic payment terminal (EPT): Similar to "card terminal", but emphasizes the function as a payment solution.

• POS terminal: Internationally used term for a "point of sale" device, i.e. a payment terminal in the retail trade.

• POS device: Used less frequently, but generally describes hardware for payment transactions at points of sale.

In practice, "payment terminal", "electronic payment terminal", and "POS terminal" are often used interchangeably, while "card reader" has a broader meaning.
