Spindle brings mobile wallets to Signifi vending kiosks
Users of Mississauga, Ontario-based Signifi Solutions' vending machines will be able to pay for purchases with mobile wallets from Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Spindle, following an agreement announced at NRF 2014.
Spindle's MeNetwork mobile wallet is to be incorporated into Spindle's SpotShops smart vending machines, the two companies said in a statement.
The automated kiosks, which are situated at airports and shopping plazas, sell and rent DVDs, video games, Apple-licensed products, clothing and accessories. They accept transactions via Visa, MasterCard and American Express, all of which can be conducted through the mobile wallet, Spindle said.
"This is a notable development for both Signifi and Spindle," said Bill Clark, Spindle's chief executive officer. "It elevates the overall purchasing experience for SpotShops customers by allowing them to pay for merchandise with a few clicks of their mobile devices."
"Spindle's MeNetwork mobile wallet capability allows Signifi to engage our customers in a new manner, providing a more progressive, immediate and secure payment option at our SpotShops," said Shamira Jaffer, Signifi's chief executive officer.
