Multi-protocol data transfer

A computer-implemented method of communicating with a point of sale terminal, the method comprising:

• establishing wireless communication with a point of sale terminal using a first communication channel;
• establishing wireless communication with the point of sale terminal using a second communication channel;
• transmitting a first type of communication data to the point of sale terminal via the first communication channel;
• and
• transmitting a second type of communication data to the point of sale terminal via the second communication channel.
