Ingenico launches APEX to streamline android payments apps

By Delisha Fernandes

Ingenico, a payments acceptance solution, has launched its AXIUM Payment Experience (APEX), a revolutionary payments app.

APEX helps business to streamline the process of creating a bespoke payments app by providing a secure base framework for payment requirements that can be quickly developed and certified, saving both time and investment.

It also provides a bridge from third-party apps to the Ingenico Payment Platform as a Service (PaaS). It makes it easy for businesses to connect to PPaaS using the North America Unified API (NUA).

With this app, Ingenico customers can realise the benefit of a connected ecosystem and focus on creating a more meaningful merchant and consumer experience. Ingenico’s “North America Unified API (NUA)”, a standardised API that works across the North American region, allows easy integrations to offer consumers services like gift cards, loyalty programmes, surveys, and more.

APEX also allows Ingenico customers to create a cross-border solution, enabling companies to create one app to service multiple countries across the North American region, instead of creating a separate app for each country.

Peter Stewart, Head of North America Region for Ingenico, said, ‘’The end-to-end process of creating a market-specific payments app can be a lengthy and costly process, taking up to 12 months when including the required value add functionality for specific merchant segments and their associated consumer customers. With APEX, our customers are provided with a strong and secure base of payment functionality, so they can focus on adding unique features that bring value to both their merchant customers and the consumer, for a fraction of the time and cost and at a modular licensing model.’’
