VBO Tickets selects Payworks to expedite Point of Sale ticketing systems in the US

San Jose, CA, 08-05-2016 – VBO Tickets, a leading company for ticketing systems in the U.S., and Payworks, the leading point of sale payment solution company, today announced their partnership which will expedite the way tickets are sold. By integrating the Payworks EMV card payment solution into the VBO’s Android and iOS app, VBO Touch, event companies in the U.S. will now have access to a mobile Point of Sale ticketing solution that will enable them to run their event sales faster and more cost-efficient than before.

Introduced at VBO Con 2016, the integrated card reader from Payworks, combined with the VBO Touch app was enthusiastically received from VBO clients. Easy to install, the EMV card reader connects to mobile devices through Bluetooth. Transactions are processed via Pulse, the Payworks payment gateway which provides a seamless and reliable payment experience, taking merchants fully out of the certification scope.

“We expect more than 50 percent of VBO clients to use the VBO Touch app with the card acceptance component provided by Payworks in the next 12 months,” stated VBO President and co-founder David Boehme. “And soon enough, this will become an integral solution for EMV card processing inside VBO Touch.”

Payworks’ next generation payment gateway technology – Pulse, is especially useful for merchants that are searching for a cost-efficient method for adopting EMV card acceptance technology, which is the new card payment security standard in the United States. With Pulse, VBO merchants can accept EMV chip card payments, but also contactless, as well as mobile wallet payments like Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay.

Michael Collins, General Manager, North America, of Payworks Inc. adds: “With this partnership, VBO and Payworks show that accepting EMV card payments in the U.S. can be quick and easy, especially for the merchant. We are looking forward to many great events where our payment gateway will process transactions through the VBO Touch app.”
