Transaction Network Services has partnered with Unattended Card Payments to expand payment technology and support for unattended terminals across North America, according to a press release. The agreement gives UCP customers access to TNS' Payment Orchestration platform, terminal certifications, integration options and experience supporting complex payment environments.

The companies said the collaboration will enhance payment capabilities for self-service applications including parking, electric vehicle charging, ticketing, vending, car washes and laundromats. TNS said its technology can help operators improve uptime, simplify vendor management and securely manage payments across networks of unattended devices.

UCP President Rob Chilcoat said the partnership strengthens the company's payment ecosystem and establishes a foundation for long-term growth. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Las Vegas, UCP provides EMV- and PCI-compliant hardware and payment gateway services, while TNS supplies payment and network services to more than 2,800 organizations in over 50 countries.
