CCI v3.5 protocol support enables use of Nayax’s cashless payment readers without need for MDB converters

Nayax’s CCI v3.5 protocol allows OCS equipment operators to install cashless payment systems without the need for expensive multi-drop bus (MDB) converters.

HUNT VALLEY, Maryland—January 6, 2021— Cashless solutions provider Nayax announced support of the CCI communication protocol, version 3.5, for the office coffee services industry. This is now available with the use of VPOS Touch cashless readers on coffee machines. Customers taking advantage of this new capability enable the use of cashless payments without the need for an expensive MDB converter, making Nayax’s cashless solution the most affordable on the market for manufacturers and customers for this market.

The OCS industry includes the tabletop semi-automatic machines which have increased in popularity across Europe by 9% over the past decade to capture 43% of the hot beverage machine base, according to the November 2020 EVA Vending Market Report.

Nayax’s solution enables cashless payments via swipe, contact and the increasingly popular contactless transactions. This includes the leading credit cards and digital payment apps, as well as the most popular regional banking apps in individual countries. Nayax also supports payment with prepaid or employee cards, which is easily configured in the back-end management suite.

With Nayax’s extensive support for payment options, including prepaid, employers can easily subsidize employee purchases, while letting additional visitors purchase via common bank cards and digital apps.

“The use of an OCS machine in a work-environment is nearly a requirement in all businesses but until now, the cost of including a cashless payment device was prohibitive for many. With Nayax’s support for v3.5 CCI protocol, OCS manufacturers will be able to provide a cost-effective solution for their customers wanting to offer office employees and visitors the opportunity to purchase coffee in-house,” says Nayax CEO Yair Nechmad. “Due to our own coffee habits, Nayax recognized the opportunity and need for implementing this protocol, and our in-house R&D team worked diligently to provide our customers with this solution.”

Nayax offers a complete cashless solution including telemetry, management suite and consumer engagement tools to retailers, including unattended retail. Nayax’s features help operators improve their day-to-day operations and long-term planning, while their marketing tools assist operators in transforming unattended machines into 24/7 retail stores with consumer engagement and IoT activities. As a global company, Nayax’s goal is to provide all payment methods in each region, ensuring consumers can pay with their preferred payment method, wherever they are located.
