Business Wire
Ingenico Group’s iCT 250 smart terminals powered by EPXPay
provide seamless, secure payments for Fantastic Sams’ full-service
hair care salons, with 1,100 locations throughout North America
Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346 - ING), the global leader
in seamless payment, and Electronic Payment Exchange (EPX), an
industry-leading, full-service payment processor, announced today
that Fantastic Sams Cut & Color will be upgrading its point of
sale (POS) terminals across all of its franchise locations to
provide the most seamless and secure payments experience for its
customers.
By powering Ingenico Group’s iCT 250 smart terminals with
EPXPay, Fantastic Sams is equipped with an EMV-certified terminal
application with best-in-class encryption, tokenization technology,
and end-to-end processing services to securely handle card-present
transactions. At every stage of the payment lifecycle, EPX
safeguards Fantastic Sams’ customer data with a multi-layered
security approach, which allows Fantastic Sams’ franchises to
reduce the scope of PCI compliance, while providing the ability to
accept EMV chip & pin, EMV chip & sign, and magstripe
transactions.
“Payment security has been a top priority for our organization,
and this is further backed by our decision to partner with Ingenico
Group and EPX,” said Linda Chadwick, president & CEO of
Dessange Group North America, Fantastic Sams’ parent company. “We
are excited to offer our customers a secure payments experience
throughout all our locations in North America as we continue to
grow and expand our business with their support.”
“Now, more than ever, businesses need to focus on securing the
payment process and offering the safest and simplest payment
experience for customers,” said Terri Harwood, chief operating
officer of North American Bancard Holdings, the parent company of
EPX. “Fantastic Sams has done just that by upgrading its point of
sale to enhance its payment security, keeping the protection of its
customers’ data top-of-mind. It’s further proof that our strong
partnership with Ingenico Group is continuing to deliver safe and
secure payments among merchants of all sizes.”
By deploying the iCT 250, Fantastic Sams is equipped with
Ingenico Group’s light, compact and durable smart terminal. The
device also meets the industry’s highest security requirements,
enabling Fantastic Sams to ensure its customers’ payments data is
protected at all times. In addition, Fantastic Sams’ brand affinity
and customer loyalty receive a boost from the crisp color graphic
display and easy-to-navigate menu, accompanying the seamless
payment experience offered for its customers.
“For franchises that offer a wide range of services, like
Fantastic Sams, it can be challenging to approach safety and
security with the same vigor as convenience and simplicity,” said
Scott Tubbs, chief revenue officer of Ingenico Group. “Fantastic
Sams has shown a commitment to protecting customer payment data and
we look forward to continuing our partnership with the
company.”
