Cashless payments specialist Nayax is planning to join forces with Visa for a free webinar on Tuesday, October 13.
Taking place at 7pm BST, the webinar entitled "What operators need to know about cashless payments" will be targeting unattended retail operators working sectors such as arcade games, amusement rides, vending, car wash business, launderettes and kiosks.
The programme will cover identifying where the demand for contactless is coming from and how unattended verticals are contributing to the demand. It will also investigate why contactless payments are important to the consumers and what operators should know about cashless transactions, including the changes that they can expect.
“As a leading global payment processor for unattended retail operations, we’re always looking for ways to improve our customers’ payment experiences and we were delighted that so many people from the industry joined us for our first webinar,” said Lewis Zimbler, operations director, Nayax UK.
“On the heels of the Covid-19 pandemic, there’s clearly an appetite for the webinar as a virtual forum in which the increased rise in cashless payment usage by consumers can be discussed."
The company notes that in 2019, for the first time cash was used for less than a quarter of all payments. John Howells, CEO at cash machine network Link, has confirmed that the "dash from cash" has accelerated as the pandemic began to emerge.
“Over the past five months, to June 2020, we have seen reductions in ATM volumes that were expected over five years," he said. "During the lockdown we have seen a 55 per cent drop in volume and our research shows that because of the pandemic, 54 per cent of consumers say that they will use cards more and a third say they will use ATMs less.”
