SHENZHEN, China, February 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PAX Technology Limited, a leading global provider of secure electronic payment terminals, has announced that McDonald's will deploy the D180 MPOS device in India to speed up the ordering process and smooth business operations.
PAX partnered with FortunePay, an innovative Indian payment and commerce company, to integrate the D180 by Bluetooth communication with Android Tablets to enable McDonald's staff in outlets across west and south India to take orders from customers via Debit and Credit cards while seated at their tables or if orders are placed from home. The D180 helps reduce queues during peak hours and improves operational efficiency. The D180 is one of the world's most compact secure payment devices, complying internationally with EMV, PCI and SRED mandates, as well as being locally certified with Ratnakar Bank in India, McDonald's merchant acquirer and a bank known for its focus on delivering mobility solutions, which are fast, professional and secured.
Manju Murthy, Founder of FortunePay commented: "We are delighted to have partnered with PAX, a company with a wide portfolio of payment devices and excellent technical support."
Latha Priyadarshini, Country Manager for PAX in India, added: "Our compact D180 and full-featured D200 MPOS products had already established themselves as the leading payment devices of choice in other large markets such as Brazil and Russia, and we are delighted to see the same trend here in India."
Mark O'Flynn, Sales Director at PAX, concluded: "We would like to thank McDonalds, FortunePay and Ratnakar Bank for choosing to partner with PAX, a further sign of our increasing dedication to the Indian market."
