Cashless solutions provider for the unattended market, Nayax, has joined forces with First Data Singapore, a specialist in commerce-enabling technology and solutions.
Following the two companies’ successful partnership in Australia, Nayax and First Data are bringing their award-winning services to more countries in south-east Asia, starting with Singapore.
The collaboration allows Nayax to expand in the Asian market, providing operators with enhanced service and payment technologies.
Nayax already has a presence in Singapore’s vending machine, photo booth, electronic locker and kiddie ride markets and will deploy its terminals to a variety of new automatic retail segments across the island country.
The partnership with First Data will provide consumers the ability to pay with credit cards, debit cards, as well as mobile wallets at machines with Nayax card reader devices. More alternative payment methods will be added to the card readers in the near future, offering greater flexibility to consumers.
For operators, Nayax’s platform can also help increase business efficiency with the use of telemetry, which allows for continuous connectivity, remote monitoring and device management. Its Management Suite offers inventory management, sales reports, real-time alerts and BI capabilities.
“Nayax believes that a cashless society starts with micro-payments,” said the company’s Asian regional manager, Omri Peled. “In the last few years, the Singaporean government has been pushing for more cashless innovation. However, only recently has this begun to be visible with more QR payment schemes and credit cards payments in public transportation. Our solutions will also be part of this change, offering open payment options at automatic machines, allowing consumers in Singapore to pay with their preferred payment method.”
