INGENICO Unattended
– At the annual NRF Conference & EXPO, Retail’s BIG Show, in New York City, Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR - ING), global leader in seamless payment, announced a new partner program intended to help accelerate EMV and NFC payment acceptance in unattended environments. The Ingenico Group Unattended Partner Program is designed for kiosk providers, value-added solution providers, system integrators and gateway providers who offer unattended solutions and want to protect their customers from post-EMV deadline fraud liability, while enabling consumers to pay using the latest payment methods, including Apple Pay and Android Pay.
Inaugural partners include: Creditcall, Flex, FreedomPay, IBM Commercial Services, Image Manufacturing Group, INTOUCH, KIOSK Information Systems, Livewire Digital, Nanonation, Olea Kiosks, Inc., Scan Source, Tempus Technologies, TrustCommerce, Unattended Card Payments and Zivelo.
Unattended terminals are becoming increasingly common, and are often found in kiosk format – examples include high-end vending for items such as electronics and cosmetics, retail pharmacy dispensers, ticketing for public transportation, unattended parking systems, and government services such as driver’s license renewals. Yet the unattended space has been slow to adopt EMV and NFC largely because of the complex partner ecosystem involved in integrating all of the components required for complete, secure solutions tailored to each customer’s environment.
The Ingenico Group Unattended Partner Program provides participants with:
- A complete development suite, including hardware and software integration kits
- A dedicated support team and account managers
- Access to Ingenico Group's sales channels and existing customer base
- Co-marketing opportunities
- Connections to other partners in the unattended ecosystem
