ESD taps PayRange for mobile payment for 2 million laundry machines

June 9, 2020

Equipment Systems & Devices, a provider of card reader equipment for commercial laundry machines, has selected PayRange to provide mobile payments for approximately 2 million card readers in the field, according to a press release.

Under this exclusive partnership, PayRange will be offering a new ESD BluKey device specifically designed to upgrade machines equipped with ESD card readers to include mobile payment capabilities, offers, loyalty and value-added services at no additional cost to the machine owner. ESD will provide its engineering expertise in integrating the ESD BluKey solution across thousands of different machine types and models across vended laundry platforms. 

The companies will immediately begin joint marketing the ESD BluKey solution, allowing machine owners to plug in a module in seconds adding mobile commerce capabilities to the existing installed base. Future developments will include ESD card readers from the factory bundled with PayRange on board.

"The ability for existing ESD laundry customers to now have the opportunity to upgrade their current laundry and laundromat machines to accept mobile payment at 'no cost' will certainly be a game-changer in the industry," Michael Kitchen, chief revenue officer of PayRange, said in the press release.
