MALVERN, PA -- USA Technologies Inc. and Advam, a provider of gateway payment solutions to the vending and self-service markets, have partnered to develop a fully automated, EMV certified, cashless payment gateway and vending management solution for the Australian unattended retail market.

Malven, PA-based USAT and Advam, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, anticipate expanding USAT's more than 969,000 connections worldwide, to offer a turnkey, end-to-end cashless payment and vending-management solution in Australia. USAT and Advam have selected Ingenico iUC285 card readers to not only equip Australian vending operators with an EMV solution to accept both chip and magstripe, but also enable the use of digital payments such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and NFC contactless capabilities.

Following the sale of Australia's Smith's PepsiCo business to the independent bottlers who are members of the consortium, iVend Group (IVG), USAT has been delivering cashless payment and vending management solutions to several members of the group. USAT said it will leverage its exclusive partnership with Advam to support businesses within IVG to expand their unattended retail services, by allowing them to accept more forms of payment, and enabling EMV payments in order to reduce consumers' burden of handling cash.

USAT and Advam will work towards expanding their partnership beyond IVG members, to allow operators across Australia to make the move to an automated cashless solution incorporating the USAT telemetry device and supporting services, and the Advam unattended payments solution.

The solution will deliver a reliable and secure payment processing service, while also allowing unattended retail operators to benefit from expanded services such as logistics and route management, merchandising and pre-kitting, as well as providing them with overall vend management software tools, all while providing consumers with a more convenient way to pay.

USAT and Advam showcased their combined solutions at the Australian Vending Association's 2018 Vending Expo in Melbourne, July 26 to 27.
