RESTON, Va. -- Transaction Network Services (TNS) announced that USA Payment Systems is using its networks and services to transport payment card authorizations from ATMs in the UK and from debit-card enabled slot machines in the U.S.
USA Payment Systems, headquartered in Rocklin, Calif., is an ATM, POS, debit- and credit-card processing company.
According to a TNS release, Tom McCarley, senior vice president and COO of USA Payment Systems, called the change revolutionary and cost effective for the company.
TNS is also providing the network for USA Payment Systems to process transactions from ATM/debit-card enabled slot machines located in U.S. casinos. The application, which is currently testing in one casino, will allow ATM/debit-card holders to receive cash right from the machine, instead of having to acquire cash through ATMs or credit card advances.
USA Payment Systems is targeting more than 400,000 slot machines for the application.
