ManagePay Receives 2012 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific New Product Innovation Award in Mobile Electronic Payment Terminal Solution

SINGAPORE, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ManagePay Systems Berhad (ManagePay) is the recipient of the 2012 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific New Product Innovation Award in Mobile Electronic Payment Terminal Solution. The award was presented at the 2012 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards held on the 25th of September at the Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.

The New Product Innovation Award is presented each year to the company that has demonstrated measured excellence in new, innovative product or product line within its industry.

With the increasing use of electronic payment methods such as credit cards and debit cards among consumers, merchants not having the ability to accept these forms of non-cash payment forms can be potentially losing out on their businesses.

"ManagePay achieved an outstanding breakthrough in developing and marketing a product which can enable greater commerce for small and medium enterprises. The MPAY ECPOS system offers a flexible and low entry barrier EMV capable system which allows merchants the ability to accept credit cards. The easy to use yet secure system, which can be run on smartphones or tablets, allows merchants to use the system on the go and start accepting credit card payments," said Richard Van, Research Analyst for Technical Insights, Frost & Sullivan.

With the continued strong growth in the smartphone usage in the region, this product is slated to be a major tool in changing the payment landscape for small scale retail commerce. 

"It is hoped that with the MPAY ECPOS device, it can enable greater participation by small vendors and individuals in the mobile payment economy. As smartphones enable greater freedom and mobility for its users, enabling such an innovative device for the payment industry can bring greater economic development. This is in line with the broader push towards electronic payments and brings the digital economy to the greater masses," said Van.

"I'm so proud that our company, ManagePay, has been chosen to be the recipient of the New Product Innovation Award for our Electronic Mobile Payment Terminal Solution.
