Manchester City F.C. Selects Trintech's PayWare to Provide Fast and Secure
London, UK/Dallas, Texas - 26 January, 2004 - Trintech Group Plc (NASDAQ: TTPA: Prime Standard: TTP), a leading provider of transaction
management and payment infrastructure solutions, today announced that Manchester City F.C., the famous Premier League club, has selected Trintech's bank-accredited PayWare Merchant to process retail and
mail order
card payments including EMV Chip and PIN
card transactions.
Manchester City F.C. has implemented Trintech's PayWare solution at the club's high-tech Stadium in Manchester, originally
home to the Common Wealth
Games 2002. The server-based solution will manage all
card transactions at the club's busy retail store and
mail order department. This translates to less
time queuing for fans and guests, easier reconciliation of transactions, central and local reporting. Currently, the club generates millions of pounds in revenue each year from a combination of
ticket sales and merchandizing. The clubs objective was to install a secure transactional product that could handle heavy volumes of
card payments in multiple environments securely.
"We are very happy to have chosen Trintech's PayWare solution," commented Duncan Martin at Manchester City F.C. "The move to our new stadium represented the perfect opportunity to update some aspects of our technology. The increased retail space and demand for
mail order
shopping requires a solution that can easily and securely handle the high volumes of
card transactions we anticipate in the coming years".
"We have a very strong customer base within the sporting arena," said Eamon Keating, General Manager of Trintech's Retail Division. "We are particularly pleased that Manchester City F.C. chose PayWare Merchant as it will provide them with the option to manage
card payments across multi-merchant environments, including retail,
Internet and
mail order in the coming years."
The PayWare Merchant solution is being jointly installed by Trintech's established reseller, Esperus Systems Limited, based in North
London. Esperus have worked with Trintech on many large sporting retail projects over the past six years and are highly regarded as having one of the most ideal retail and
mail order operating systems for the sporting and leisure industry.
