VeriFone Bringing Lottery to Card Payment Screens
24.05.12
VeriFone has installed payment-enabled media systems in more than 14,000
taxis across the U.S. and is rolling out similar capabilities to fuel
dispensers across the country as petroleum retailers upgrade their
systems to comply with new payment card security requirements.
Additionally, top multilane retailers throughout the U.S. utilize
VeriFone systems, representing another market ripe for automated lottery
sales.
“Convenience, speed and security are the three key elements that make
payment systems in taxis, at fuel pumps and other VeriFone-enabled
locations ideal venues for expanding access to lottery tickets,” said
Bud Waller, VeriFone vice chairman. “This is yet another
transaction-based consumer experience that VeriFone is and will continue
to bring to taxis and pumps everywhere, along with digital coupons,
promotions and loyalty programs.”
VeriFone will partner with Linq3, which has secured payments processing
integration with many of the nation’s leading payments and ATM
processors, creating a nationwide network to securely process lottery
transactions in all forty-four lottery sanctioned states. VeriFone
expects to initiate a pilot in the near future.
