Ok“PDQ” stands for “process data quickly”. This is an appropriate acronym, given the speed of transactions made via a PDQ machine. Credit card machines used to be called PDQ machines but this term is fast becoming obsolete. The payment process for card holder present transactions changed when Chip and PIN replaced old Mag Stripe terminals and so PDQ machines are now typically called Chip and PIN machines.
