the global leader in secure commerce technology for lodging, gaming,

integrate FreedomPay’s secure technology into Equinox’s Luxe line of
retail payment terminals.
The FreedomPay Advanced Commerce Platform is the first PCI-validated

Currency Conversion and real-time data capabilities that delivers on a
global scale. By electing FreedomPay as their technology partner,
Equinox can make payment transactions seamless and simpler for POS
solution providers and merchants.
“The evolution of consumer behavior is driving merchants to innovate the
payments experience,” said Matthew Donnelly, vice president of security
and solutions at FreedomPay. “With the ever-changing payments landscape,
hospitality merchants and retailers are looking for simple, secure, and
reliable ways to accept payments while enhancing the customer
experience. By partnering with Equinox, we’re able to provide merchants
with a secure, end-to-end experience that enables innovative,
customer-centric payment solutions.”
Featured in the Luxe
family are the elegant Luxe 8000i, designed for fixed acceptance
areas including retail countertops and hotel registration desks, and the
modular Luxe 6000m, ideal for both countertop and mobile acceptance uses
like local roaming, line busting and field-level payments. The
combination of the Luxe 6000i with FreedomPay’s Pay-at-Table solution
extends an efficient and improved dining experience that allows guests
the freedom to pay their check right at the table. Magnetic-stripe, EMV
and NFC contactless payments are supported, and the same software can
run across all devices in the Luxe line. In addition, the solutions will
be fully integrated with real time tracking, security alerts, and
updates via FreedomPay’s Device Management Portal.

DSS compliance, and extends peace of mind to retailers.”
