Posera Announces Partnership with Ingenico Group for the Integration of its SecureTablePay Pay-at-the-Table Solution

TORONTO, May 19, 2017 /CNW/ - Posera Ltd. (TSX: PAY), a leading provider of software solutions for the hospitality industry, announced its partnership with Ingenico Group, the global leader in seamless payment, for the launch of Posera's SecureTablePay^® Pay-at-the-Table solution in the US market.

One of the biggest trends in the hospitality industry is the ability to accept card payments at the point of service via mobile payment devices. This capability has existed in many markets, such as Europe and Canada, for many years, and now increasingly, casual dining and table service restaurants in the US are adopting wireless terminals to offer Pay-at-the-Table convenience to their patrons. Ingenico Group and Posera provide an ideal solution to restaurants with the launch of Posera's SecureTablePay on Ingenico Group's wireless smart terminals, such as the iWL250.

This combined Ingenico Group hardware and Posera software solution not only increases convenience for the customer, but also increases efficiency for the restaurant and the server, allowing the server to spend more time on the floor with the customer and reducing the steps and time it takes to close a check.  All that with added security including acceptance of EMV chip cards and NFC/contactless payments such as Apple Pay and Android Pay, and point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and tokenization, protecting customers and ensuring PCI compliance.

"There are over half a million restaurants in the US who have or will be adopting EMV standards over the next few years, and will need the ability to accept payments at the point of service.  By combining the Posera's solution with our wireless smart terminals, SecureTablePay enables restaurant payments that provide greater security and better customer service to American restaurants and their patrons," said Howard Finch, vice president, sales at Ingenico Group, North America.

EMV-enabled Pay-at-the-Table solutions give customers the peace of mind of added security as the payment device is brought to them at the point of service. Customers can safely and easily use their chip cards, with either a PIN or signature, right from their seats. This embraces a core principle of better card security, which consumers are hearing about more frequently: never relinquish possession of your payment card, even temporarily. This combination of powerful security and faster, more convenient checkouts makes paying at the table with wireless terminals the ideal approach to satisfy hospitality customers.

"We have partnered with Ingenico for close to 10 years in Canada and are excited to launch SecureTablePay with them in the US," said Dan Poirier, Chief Executive Officer for Posera.  "Our customers have found Ingenico wireless devices to be very durable and customer-friendly, with an incredible coverage range and battery life.  We believe partnering SecureTablePay with Ingenico's mPOS devices provides the best possible pay-at-the-table solution to restaurants in the US," added Poirier.
