NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NATIONAL RETAIL
FEDERATION ANNUAL CONFERENCE -- Today at NRF 2018,
Oracle Hospitality a trusted provider of hardware, software and
services to hospitality operators and FreedomPay, a leader in
secure commerce technology for lodging, gaming, retail,
restaurants, stadiums and other hospitality merchants, announced
their collaboration to provide secure payment processing for
conference attendees at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City. The companies have integrated
FreedomPay's Advanced Commerce Platform with Oracle Hospitality's
MICROS point-of-sale devices to provide full EMV support to over
175 events annually supporting over 35,000 global companies.
The customer facing devices, as well as the handheld
pay-at-table devices, support EMV contact and contactless payments
– enabling patrons from around the world to easily leverage their
local bank-issued payment cards. Furthermore, the contactless EMV
support enables customers to save valuable time by simply tapping
their payment card on the reader versus inserting their card into
the device, the combined payment solution enables consumers to
utilize the payment options they desire.
The integration between FreedomPay and Oracle Hospitality is
another example of Oracle delivering additional value for
hospitality customers through integrations that extend the value of
POS investments. In addition to providing durable and compact
point-of-service terminals, Oracle Hospitality offers a fully
integrated portfolio of hardware and software solutions that enable
food and beverage operations to streamline managerial tasks,
increase speed of service and elevate the guest experience.
"The NRF conference is about showcasing the technology that will
build future customer experiences and with FreedomPay we'll be
highlighting the potential of contactless EMV payments in the
hospitality industry at food vendors across the Jacob K. Javits
Center," said Laura Calin, vice
president of strategy, Oracle Hospitality. "Contactless EMV
payments represent an opportunity for retailers and food and
beverage operators to improve the guest experience by accelerating
the check out process during peak retail seasons and high volume
hospitality applications."
"Contactless payments deliver a fast, simple and secure
experience at the point of sale, while also helping merchants
increase speed of service and grow sales volume," said Dan Sanford, vice president, consumer products,
Visa. "We're pleased that all Javits Center attendees will now be
able to tap to pay quickly and easily with their contactless cards,
mobile phones, or connected devices."
The FreedomPay Advanced Commerce Platform is one of the first
the first PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solution
with EMV, NFC, Dynamic Currency Conversion and real-time data
capabilities that delivers on a global scale. With P2PE, valuable
consumer payment data is protected from the moment the card is
inserted into the MICROS point-of-sale device, in transit, and at
rest in the merchant's environment. FreedomPay is Platinum level
member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).
"Over the past 15 years, FreedomPay developed a strong
relationship with the team at Oracle – combining our point-to-point
encryption expertise and secure payment processing capabilities
with their MICROS terminals," said Chris
Kronenthal, president and chief technology officer at
FreedomPay. "This installation at the Javits Center emphasizes the
payment protection capabilities that FreedomPay and Oracle are
delivering coast-to-coast."
FreedomPay and Oracle help secure payments for consumers across
multiple verticals throughout the United
States, including food and beverage, hospitality, retail and
travel. The "Secured by FreedomPay" image appearing on the Oracle
MICROS point-of-sale devices assures customers that their
transactions are protected to exceed some of the most stringent
payment transaction security requirements currently available.
FreedomPay is Platinum level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork
(OPN).
