TouchSuite's Gift Card Exchange program works with 100+ top national brands
Our Gift Card Exchange program presents yet another revolutionary advancement in the payment industry that benefits both the consumer and merchant- the ultimate objective in everything we do here at TouchSuite.
Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) March 17, 2015
As new payment solutions and NFC technology continue to be introduced to the U.S. market, leading financial technology company, TouchSuite, has launched a groundbreaking purchasing technology that requires nothing more of consumers than to relocate their stack of unused gift cards.
Through TouchSuite’s Gift Card Exchange (GCE), a network of gift card brands including everything from Starbucks, to Macy’s and Best Buy, merchants of TouchSuite’s Lightning Payment solution may now accept the gift cards of more than 100 top brands as a form of payment from their customers. By simply swiping the card or keying in the brand, balance, and account number, the customer will immediately receive a cash bid for what their gift card would be worth if sold through TouchSuite’s GCE system and used for that purchase. Merchants that use Lightning Payments are currently the only brick-and-mortar retailers that can use a gift card exchange solution in store at the point of transaction.
“From NFC technology, to EMV processing, the payment space is clearly experiencing a significant period of growth through innovation, which, for a payment technology company like ours, presents a unique opportunity to explore new and often pioneering ways to enhance our line of SMB solutions,” said TouchSuite founder and CEO Sam Zietz. “Our Gift Card Exchange program presents yet another revolutionary advancement in the payment industry that benefits both the consumer and merchant- the ultimate objective in everything we do here at TouchSuite.”
