Rental Program Boosts Spread of Card-Friendly Vending Machines

Shipments of USA Technologies' e-Port G6 readers, which process magnetic-stripe and contactless card transactions, have significantly increased as a result of the company's Quick Start program, which allows the devices to be rented rather than purchased by vending-machine owners.

"USA Technologies designed Quick Start in response to customer demand for more convenient and flexible financing alternatives, and we have been overwhelmed by how quickly the vending industry has responded," said USA Technologies' Mike Lawlor in a press release. "The rapid response from vending operators is confirmation that the vending industry increasingly wants to offer its customers the option of a credit and debit card payment alternative."

Earlier last year USA Technologies entered into a fourth agreement with MasterCard to subsidize e-Port costs in order to construct acceptance sites for its PayPass contactless card.
