Ingenico is extending its relationship with Avis EMEA by signing up ten more countries within the car rental company’s network to its secure payment management system (view press release). The two companies signed a five year managed payment service deal last year which included around 3,000 iCT250 chip and PIN terminals, transaction management delivered through Ingenico’s Axis platform, helpdesk and hardware maintenance services. Further to the current 12 corporate managed countries across Europe, the ten new countries adopting Ingenico’s solution include Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Romania, Hungary, Poland, Greece and Malta. The deal will be piloted in September and fully rolled out towards the end of the year.
Ingenico’s Axis solution is an international transaction management platform which centralises the management of transactions for large businesses. Ingenico currently supports around 80,000 active lanes on the Axis platform with around 1.6 billion transactions routed in Europe annually. The solution is also deployed as a managed service for merchants in sectors such as retail, hospitality, transport and fuel.
