VeriFone supplies Bank of China

VeriFone says that Bank of China has placed an order for almost 16,000 VeriFone payment solutions, extending its long-time relationship with VeriFone as the country continues to expand its card payment processing infrastructure.

The Bank has placed an order for 2008 delivery that includes the GPRS-enabled Vx 610, the CDMA-enabled NURIT 8000, and the countertop NURIT 2930 incorporating a dial up modem and sprocket printer.

Bank of China is one of China's four state-owned commercial banks and the sole banking partner of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

“We're honoured by the confidence that Bank of China has exhibited in our product portfolio,” comments William Nichols, general manager, VeriFone Asia. “We have worked closely with the bank in providing card payment capabilities to merchants and look forward to continued success in expanding the market for card-based purchases in China.”
