InComm partners with PayPoint to launch Digital Gaming Vouchers

ATLANTA, Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- InComm, a leading provider of integrated point-of-sale (POS) technology solutions to retailers, is pleased to announce a partnership with PayPoint, a leader in payment technologies, to supply a new collection of digital vouchers now available at over 27,000 locations throughout the UK.

The initial launch in early October enables customers to pay cash at PayPoint terminals for a code which can be redeemed against a number of popular games online, including PlayStation®, Nintendo and Bin Weevils gaming platforms.

Paying for these products in cash enables self-purchase gamers to play their favourite gaming titles without having to enter credit card or bank details online. It enables flexibility for customers to purchase a gift without having to know which games the recipient is currently playing and offers parents the opportunity to monitor and control their children's spending, removing the risk of a surprisingly large credit card bill.

"We are pleased to have partnered with PayPoint in the UK to offer pin-on-receipt (eVouchers) through their network of independent retailers," said Frank Monaco, Executive Vice President of International, InComm.  "It provides a fantastic opportunity for these independents to stock gaming products without the need to find shelf space in-store. For customers it offers a very convenient way of purchasing gaming credit without the need to use a credit card."  

Andrew Goddard, Retail Director of PayPoint UK & Ireland said, "We're delighted to be partnering with InComm to make eVouchers available through PayPoint and will be adding further entertainment brands to our digital voucher category over the coming months."

PayPoint customers should keep an eye out for in-store posters, wobblers, tent cards and bunting at selected retailers, designed to raise awareness about the availability of the new eVouchers.  A supporting awareness campaign is also planned online, through social media and viral video.
