VeriFone Helps China PnR Address Growing Payments Complexity with POS Estate Managed Services Contract
VeriFone Systems, Inc. (NYSE: PAY), today announced it has been awarded
a two-year contract to provide managed
services for as many as 100,000 POS payment devices operated by ChinaPnR,
a leader in China's electronic payment industry. Under the agreement,
ChinaPnR is outsourcing the management of increasingly complex payment
devices to VeriFone so it can better focus on its core business.
VeriFone is providing installation, training, and maintenance services
for all existing payment devices and new installations over the course
of the agreement. The agreement builds on VeriFone’s previous
relationship providing operation and maintenance services for ChinaPnR’s
air travel business units in 2012. China PNR provides payment services
to customers in the air-ticketing, commercial distribution, digital
entertainment and other markets, with an annual settlement amount
exceeding hundreds of billions Yuan.
“VeriFone is providing managed services that shield China PnR and other
customers from the complexity of payments technology so they can focus
on core business issues,” said Zvi
Mitlanski, president, VeriFone ASPAC. “VeriFone’s track record in
establishing service coverage across China, has proven our ability to
meet the growing demands of Chinese customers for customized products,
value-added services and complete solutions.”
China's payment market has experienced rapid growth as banks and
third-party service providers compete to offer conventional and
innovative payment services to their customers. Between 2006 and the end
of 2012, POS devices installed in China have grown 7.1 million, a 43
percent compound annual growth rate, and 3.5 billion bank cards are now
in circulation, according to the Peoples Bank of China.
