VeriFone Enables Retailers to Interact. Impact. Impress.

VeriFone Systems, Inc. (NYSE: PAY), today, reveals how its comprehensive suite of payments solutions is helping leading retailers interact with, impact and impress their customers.

New innovations on the show floor will include:

• A new, size-adaptable payment acceptance solution for tablets-the first to work with iPad mini.
• New versions of PAYware Mobile for iPhone (News - Alert) 5 and the new iPod touch.
• New, cloud-based services for bridging today with tomorrow's innovations and managing ever-growing payments complexity.

"VeriFone is enabling retailers to enrich their relationship with the consumer by providing the latest in mobile technology and services needed to untether themselves from the checkout counter, deploy mobility, reduce payments and infrastructure complexity, and impress their customers with new content and new experiences," said Jennifer Miles, VeriFone executive vice president, North America.

Transforming Transactions into Meaningful Interactions

VeriFone GlobalBay Doubles Customer Base

VeriFone GlobalBay doubled its customer base in 2012. More than 60 specialty retailers are using GlobalBay software-often in tandem with PAYware Mobile-to create exciting new in-store and omni-channel experiences for their customers through mobile POS, virtual look-books, online catalogues, clienteling and on-the-spot inventory management systems.

MX 900 series becoming the de facto standard

VeriFone's customers include 80 percent of the top 200 U.S. retailers. Since it was announced at NRF last year, dozens of these customers have standardized on the MX 900 Series to provide an enhanced customer experience at the point of sale.
