USA Technologies Plans to Demonstrate Enhanced Consumer Engagement & Loyalty Experience with Apple Pay at Mobile World Congre...

USA Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: USAT) (“USAT”), together with Urban Airship, plans to demonstrate their collaboration supporting USAT’s MORE. Loyalty Program, and its planned integration with Apple Pay, at the Urban Airship exhibit at Mobile World Congress (MWC). Collectively, we will be showcasing enhanced consumer engagement capabilities and simplified enrollment processes. We expect this next iteration will help USAT’s unattended retail customers with easier enrollment into MORE. through pre-populated enrollment forms, automatic generation of a loyalty card and immediate addition to a consumer’s Apple Wallet, as well as immediate updates to, and application of, MORE. Loyalty and rewards through a single tap.

The planned integration was initially announced during the Consumer Electronics Show in January, discussing how consumers making a purchase would be able to receive exclusive offers, promotions and discounts toward future purchases at participating self-serve machines connected to USAT’s cashless payment platform, ePort Connect®. For more information please see the recent announcement from Urban Airship.
