Canteen Vending Services Installs USA Technologies' e-Port(R) Card Payment Solution.

Leading Vending Company Deploys Credit/Debit System in its Northern Florida Vending Market to Accept MasterCard PayPass Contactless Payments 

PURCHASE, N.Y. -- MasterCard Worldwide and USA Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:USAT) announced today that Canteen Vending Services is installing e-Port terminals that accept MasterCard PayPass on vending machines in its Jacksonville, Florida marketplace.

Canteen has installed and is testing the credit and debit card payment systems and contactless capabilities in vending machines across a variety of its Jacksonville market, from colleges and education, healthcare and retail, to lodging, business and the workplace.

The Canteen installations come as other vending industry leaders are also installing e-Port. In total, the installations of more than 13,500 e-Port/PayPass terminals have been announced in recent months.

"As a world leader in vending, Canteen's recognition of the added value that payment card acceptance delivers to consumers and vendors, sets an industry standard," said T.J. Sharkey, Group Head, U.S. Commerce Development, MasterCard Worldwide. "Our previous vending deployments show higher purchase volumes when consumers are not limited to the cash they have on hand. When they have the choice to pay with cash or payment cards, they buy what they want. At the machines that were deployed in Philadelphia last year for example, consumers purchased an average of 32% more when using a card to make a vending purchase."

USA Technologies e-Port gives customers the ability to use either their magnetic-stripe payment cards to make purchases from vending machines, or new wireless activated contactless cards where consumers tap or wave their cards on the transaction reader.

"We are excited to be working with MasterCard and with a company the size and stature of Canteen in deploying more of our wireless activated cashless technology and services in vending machines," said Stephen P. Herbert, President and COO, USA Technologies Inc. "Together, USA Technologies and MasterCard are providing a payment system that gives consumers the ultimate in speed and convenience when making purchases from vending machines," he said.

The e-Port G6 is industry-leading technology that accepts all mediums of payment, whether cash, cashless or contactless, and all forms of cards, credit, debit, magnetic strip and wireless contactless. The e-Port is the first technology in the vending industry to respond to the rapidly emerging cashless trend sweeping the U.S. marketplace. It also targets other significant unattended point-of-sale markets in mass transit, road tolls and parking, laundry and business center services.
