EVERLINK EXPANDS ITS PIN CHANGE TERMINAL PORTFOLIO TO INCLUDE BOTH SHORT RANGE AND LONG RANGE WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY ENABLED TERMINALS

March 31, 2016

MARKHAM, ON, APRIL 1, 2016 – Everlink Payment Services Inc. announced today the launch of its PIN Change Service on both short range and long range wireless technology enabled terminals, allowing its credit union and bank partners to provide enhanced mobility applications on branch transformation initiatives.

Working closely with Ingenico Group Canada to build the remote PIN Change Service terminal interface, Everlink can now offer its PIN Change Service on the Ingenico iWL 252, which is a Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled terminal and the Ingenico iWL 255, which is a 3G wireless technology enabled terminal. Everlink selected the Ingenico iWL series of terminals for its PIN Change Service mobility applications as this series of terminals represents some of the smallest, lightest and most convenient terminals in the market for PIN Change applications.

“Our team is pleased to be offering our credit union and bank partners PIN Change Service through wireless terminals. Both the short range and long range wireless technology enabled terminals allow our partners to realize greater efficiencies and productivity by offering our PIN Change Service on mobile terminals,” says Mark Ripplinger, President & CEO at Everlink. “Whether a credit union member or bank customer is at a teller or in the Branch Manager’s office, the short range and long range wireless technology enabled terminals can easily and securely allow the customer to select and/or change their PIN.”

Everlink has been offering its PIN Change Service for a number of years. At the heart of the service is a hosted PIN Change Server that connects to the remote PIN Change terminal in the branch. Given that many of Everlink’s credit union and bank partners are engaged in branch transformation projects to enhance the overall customer experience, the addition of mobility terminals will assist this ongoing transformation.
