FORECOURT retail specialist Suresite Group has partnered with payment solutions provider Vianet to take advantage of the growth in ‘unattended’ contactless transactions.

Market research predicts contactless payments will grow 130% globally in the next five years – with the potential benefits of ‘more sales, less cost’ for retailers.

The firms say the tie-up will result in a competitive, user-friendly and highly secure payments solution that is able to futureproof any unattended or automated retail business.

The system will allow for contactless payments to be made for the likes of electric vehicle charging points, unmanned car washes, air or vac stations and vending machines.
