Verifone Introduces the Engage Family in South Korea Offering Secure and Interactive Experiences for Retailers and Consumers

By Eastern Daylight Time, Sept. 26, 2017

SAN JOSE, Calif. & SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Launching world-class retail payment innovations in South Korea where consumers are hyper-connected and tech-savvy, Verifone (NYSE: PAY), a world leader in payments and commerce solutions, announces the full market availability of the first two devices in the Verifone Engage family of payment solutions. Both have passed the mandatory and rigorous Korea Certification product inspection and meet Korea’s EMV standards.

Cash is shrinking in Korea where this traditional form of payment only accounts for 20 percent of all transactions. To support the steady trend leading to a cashless society, Verifone will enable Korean merchants of all sizes in the retail, food, and hospitality space with globally certified payment solutions and services. Merchants will be able to accept a variety of modern payment types, ensure advanced payment data security, and access services such as estate management and the Merchant Marketplace for third-party app capabilities.

“We are offering high quality, NFC-certified payment devices with convenient services designed for the Korean market where merchants are open to new and innovative payment solutions,” said Steve Aliferis, president of Verifone Asia Pacific. “With the introduction of Verifone Engage, we continue to be committed to implementing advanced payment innovations and services that meet the needs of merchants and their customers in Korea.”

For enhanced retail experiences instore, the Verifone P400 PIN pad provides faster checkout with an interactive user interface on a stunning touchscreen while the robust Verifone V200c countertop is a smart multitasker that’s affordable for small- to medium-sized businesses. Both EMV-ready products secure payments data with multi-layered encryption and tokenization, are fully compliant with PCI PTS 4.X security requirements, and support all major NFC contactless schemes.

Collaborating with processors, banks, and strategic partners, Verifone will bring unique commerce opportunities to the consumer experience with engaging multimedia and interactive commerce on high-end design at the point-of-sale. Through an open and flexible architecture, the Verifone Engage family offers the best of physical, mobile and online consumer interactions helping businesses drive meaningful relationships with real-time personalization such as loyalty programs, unique offers, and rewards.
