Cooperation agreement extends reach of AEVI’s open and flexible app
marketplace to Ingenico’s large global base of acquirers and providers

AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AEVIDoMore—AEVI,
provider of next-generation acquiring services and Ingenico, global
leader in seamless payment, today announced an agreement to have the
AEVI App Marketplace supported on Ingenico’s industry-leading payment
and customer engagement platforms.

With this cooperation, Ingenico’s global base of acquirer and solutions
provider partners can access AEVI’s vendor-agnostic, open and
flexible marketplace of value-added apps and services to help their
merchant customers run their businesses. AEVI’s customers can now choose
from a wide range of Ingenico devices to connect to the AEVI App
Marketplace.

“Ingenico is committed to providing our partners with the platforms
and tools to help their merchant customers build smarter businesses and
exceed consumer expectations” said Luciano Cavazzana, EVP EMEA Banks
& Acquirers, Ingenico Group. “We are proud to work on this
exciting project with AEVI, which is showing the path to create an
applications ecosystem for our customers.”

The AEVI App Marketplace will firstly be available on Ingenico’s
Android-based Axium D7 and APOS products. The tablet-based Axium D7 and
compact APOS provide flexible, mobile acceptance of any payment type at
all points of customer interaction. The Android environment adds
increased flexibility and agility for merchants, who can personalize
their customers’ experiences with innovative and easily launched apps
from AEVI’s entire app portfolio and more.

“AEVI greatly increases its reach through Ingenico’s leadership in
the payments industry.” said Peter Spee, AEVI Vice President of
Strategy and Corporate Development. “This will encourage
next-generation acquirers to leverage the AEVI App Marketplace to spur
merchant innovation and improve the consumer payment experience.”

AEVI’s open ecosystem provides merchant payment solution providers with
unprecedented flexibility in tailoring hardware and solution suites for
merchants. AEVI AppFlow, announced last year, standardizes and automates
the integration and interoperability of apps in an open environment to
deliver a better experience for merchants and consumers.

This agreement with Ingenico is part of the AEVI Enablement Program
through which providers make their hardware compatible with the AEVI
Platform including the App Marketplace. The program enables acquirers to
provide tailored suites of apps and services on a choice of devices,
including next generation payment devices and non-payment devices. The
AEVI Enablement Program supports AEVI’s vision to turn any endpoint into
a point of interaction (POI) for merchants and their consumers. In
addition to expanding AEVI’s reach to acquirers and payment solution
providers, this agreement also expands the distribution channel for app
partners to reach merchants worldwide through the AEVI App Marketplace.
