Ingenico partners with Timbec for indoor payment kiosks

March 4, 2013

Global payments solutions provider Ingenico today announced a strategic partnership with Timbec Inc., a Montreal-based interactive indoor kiosk solution provider, to jointly market Ingenico's new iSelf-Service Series payment solutions in Canada.

Ingenico Canada selected Timbec to build and promote secure off-the-shelf as well as custom unattended payment solutions to meet the demands for ticketing, hospitality, transportation, retail and vending, the announcement said. The interactive kiosk solution will offer Timbec's ergonomic and customizable kiosk design with Ingenico's secure iSelf-Service product range, including the iUP250 intelligent PIN-pad, iUR250 slave hybrid card reader, and iUC150 slave contactless reader. The series is built on Telium2 technology and designed to securely accept all forms of electronic payment — EMV cards, contactless, NFC-enabled mobile transactions and magnetic stripe cards.

"Today self-service unattended payment acceptance represents a tremendous business opportunity in Canada," said Paul St.-Jean, president of Timbec. "As a leader in indoor kiosk solutions, we are constantly seeking to add value to our clients, by integrating innovative technologies with our custom interactive kiosks. Ingenico's iSelf-Service Series represents a new generation of unattended payment products which boasts the most current certifications. This partnership is a 'win-win' and will benefit our consumers, by adding and expanding 'round-the-clock' convenience of secure electronic payment at various unattended self-service business locations."
