USA Technologies Ranked A Top 10 Largest Shipper Of U.S. POS Terminal Shipments For 2018 By The Nilson Report

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2019-- USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAT), ("USAT"), a cashless payments and software services company that provides end-to-end technology solutions for the self-service retail market, announced today that it has been ranked as a top 10 largest shipper of point-of-sale (POS) terminals in the United States for the calendar year 2018 by The Nilson Report, a leading source of news and analysis of the global card and mobile payment industry.

USAT's POS device, the ePort^®, is a cashless payment system that drives connections to ePort Connect ^®--a complete suite of PCI-compliant cashless payment, telemetry, and value-added services for the self-serve retail market which includes kiosks, vending machines, micro-markets and more. With built-in NFC capabilities, the service platform handles all card processing and settlement for clients. USAT also provides an advanced, cloud-based interactive media and content delivery management system, called ePort Interactive^®, which takes care of the delivery of remote refunds and enables marketing campaigns.

"We are proud to be ranked alongside top global players like Ingenico, VeriFone, and First Data in terms of U.S. POS terminal shipments,” said Stephen P. Herbert, CEO of USA Technologies. “We believe that this top ranking speaks to the industry’s continued evolution toward cashless technology at point of sale, driven by consumer expectations to be able to pay with whatever payment method is most comfortable for them. Growth in adoption of cashless technology is continuing to enhance self-serve markets such as vending, amusement and kiosk which have been historically cash-based, and opening up new opportunities for operators to streamline efficiencies and increase sales and repeat visits.”

The news comes on the heels of USA Technologies’ recent announcement that it had added 3,169 new customers to its ePort Connect payment network in fiscal 2019, bringing total connections to the Company’s service to nearly 1.2 million. The company was also recently recognized by Retail CIO Outlook as a Top Ten Retail Kiosk Service Provider for helping retail clients make the transition to cashless payments and telemetry.
