December 16, 2013

USA Technologies Inc., a provider of wireless, cashless payment and M2M telemetry solutions for self-service retail industries, announced broad-based enhancements to its ePort Connect service.

According to the company, the enhancements further position USAT customers for the emerging trends in mobile payments and consumer engagement programs such as loyalty and rewards, and expanded use of operational data as self-service retail businesses continue to develop a valued network of connected, cashless payment consumer touchpoints in the years ahead.

Recent upgrades include:

• New features added to USAT's recently launched prepaid and loyalty program, MORE;
• Added capability of the ePort Connect platform to accept mobile payment with mobile-based rewards;
• Micro-market and other cashless payment applications that expand USAT's ePort Connect service to a broader audience;
• New features to ePort Connect's customer reporting portal, USALive; and
• Release of ePort Mobile versions 2.0, for both IOS and Android smartphones and tablets, for customers who have the need for mobile payment acceptance.

"USAT has been providing cashless payment and telemetry solutions in self-serve retail markets for more than a decade, so the capabilities and scale we've created in this area now allow us to dedicate a great deal of our development work to value-added services that expand opportunities for our customers," Cary Sagady, USAT's senior vice president of product management and network services, said in the announcement.
