ISELIN, N.J., April 12, 2011 – On Track Innovations Ltd., (OTI) (NASDAQ-GM: OTIV), a global leader in contactless smart card solutions, today announced that it has supplied over 7,000 contactless payments readers to support the growing contactless payments market in Poland.
The company’s wholly owned Polish subsidiary, ASEC S.A., with offices in Krakow and Warsaw, has been working with channel partners and customers to support the growing Polish market. Clients include acquirer e-Service, a wholly owned subsidiary of PKO BP Bank which provides solutions to coffee shops, pharmacies, department stores and animal supply stores among others. Another major customer is Zabka Polska S.A., the largest convenience store chain in the country with more than 2,200 locations.
As published before, ASEC was the first to introduce contactless payments for mass transit in Poland. As an operator of the Warsaw City Card, ASEC provides customers with the option to load their contactless ticket and pay for it with the same contactless card on ASEC’s ticket vending machines.
OTI readers are built in various configurations: countertop reader for indoor usage (Saturn 6000), mounted reader for outdoor and vending (Saturn 6500) and OEM readers for integration into POS terminals.
OTI offers in-house production capabilities with ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 16949:2002 certified, MasterCard TQM manufacturing facilities, UL and FCC approved products. Coupled with unique IP and know-how and its matched antenna patent, OTI’s readers provide unparallel quality and performance to customers.
OTI’s readers support major financial contactless programs including ISO 14443 Payment Implementation (EMVCo), MasterCard PayPass, Visa PayWave, American Express ExpressPay, Discover Zip, MIFARE, ISO 15693, NFC and other proprietary systems and can read a variety of sources including cards, key fobs, smart stickers and NFC-enabled mobile phones.
OTI’s Saturn 6000 reader, deployed throughout Poland, is stylishly designed and is available in multiple colors each sporting a large LCD display. It allows for configurable images, and programmable lines of characters in multiple languages. The unit’s plug-and-play design and small footprint allows for easy installation and multiple configurations; it can be placed on a countertop, wall-mounted or lie flat.
The Saturn 6500 is a secured contactless reader built specifically for the outdoor market, providing a quick and easy solution to support electronic payments. The Saturn 6500 provides a convenient payment method for both magnetic stripe and contactless card holders, in one small stylish enclosure. The reader’s modular design makes it easy to install, with various connection options, making the Saturn 6500 a perfect solution for vending machines, pay-at-the-pump and drive-thru applications.
