MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAT) ("USAT"), a payment technology provider of cashless and mobile transactions in self-serve retail and Chase, are expanding joint efforts to help more self-serve and unattended retail go cashless, through a strategic marketing agreement.

With significant capital investments needed to keep up with the pace of today’s consumers, particularly millennials, retailers in the self-serve markets are looking for increased operational efficiencies, robust payment technology and enhanced user engagement.

The two companies have been working together for some time to bring greater opportunities to their shared customers, by leveraging USAT’s best-in-class cashless payments and loyalty platforms, with the added security and expanded reach of market-leading payments from Chase.

Through the companies’ joint marketing efforts, consumers will now have a better understanding of the opportunities available when paying with credit or via mobile wallet. In addition, retailers will now have the tools to better engage with customers in the moment at the point of sale.

“Payment innovations and consumer trends are changing every aspect of retail sales,” said Mike Lawlor, CSO, USA Technologies. “We are committed to educating the market and delivering innovative solutions to support operators in the rapidly growing market of unattended retail.”
