A device for entering information securely in a customer transaction is described. The device may include a keypad (200) comprising a set of full travel keys for transmitting a first set of data and a set of minimal travel keys for transmitting a second set of data. A subset of the full travel keys may be operable to receive numerical entries, and a subset of the minimal travel keys may be customized to perform one or more nonnumeric functions. A controller (26) is connected to and receives data from one or more components of the keypad (200). The device may be used in a fuel dispenser system (10) or another environment where a customer transaction occurs.
