Protouch & YESpay Give Retailer’s a Total Payment Solution

Protouch, no 1 EPoS kiosk supplier has partnered with YESpay, the leading provider of card payment services, to deliver a total solution to retailers who want to offer self service card payments.

With customers' expectations for fast and convenient service soaring, retailers are under pressure to deliver solutions that keep up with demand. As a result, according to Retail Banking Research, the number of self service checkouts is set to quadruple over the next five years.

Retailers need an easy route to deploy this technology and Protouch and YESpay think they have hit upon the answer.

Protouch and YESpay have partnered to deliver a total solution to supermarkets, train stations, cinemas, etc that want to offer self service chip and pin credit and debit card payments. With their payment and processing kiosk, customers can receive a fast and convenient service which retailers deliver at minimal cost and effort to them, while reaping in the benefits of reduced staff costs and increased customer spend.

Our partnerships with Protouch is an indication of the commitment both companies are making to retailers enabling them to extend their sales reach into offering their customers multi-channel payment services that embraces this payment technology.”
