USA: Sound Payments, NRS to expand EMV at pumps nationwide
The companies have aligned to deliver the solution as the April 2021 deadline to enable EMV at the pump approaches.
Sound Payments, a multi-channel technology company, and National Retail Solutions (NRS), a subsidiary of publicly traded IDT Corporation and a leading provider of a Point of Sale network plus NRS PAY credit card processing, are partnering to bring EMV to the pump to more fuel stations in the United States.
Sound Easy Pump enables stations to install a retrofit solution at the pump that solves EMV without the need to purchase new pumps and close stations during installation.
“Having the option to use one POS and payment acceptance venue for both gas pumps and the on-site store makes reconciliation for accounting less challenging for gas station owners and more convenient for their customers,” said Elie Y. Katz, president and CEO of NRS.
“Our partnership with NRS means more stations will benefit from a semi-integrated solution that cost-effectively enables EMV at the pump,” said Andrew Russell, president of Sound Payments.
NRS currently provides point of sale hardware and services to more than 300 independent stations, providing them POS hardware and software without pump connection.
Sound Payments is a multi-channel, diversified technology company that creates solutions in the payments, petroleum and financial services industries.
