Nayax recently announced that they’ve partnered with Giift, a company that specializes in loyalty technology solutions that reward and retain customers. The partnership is significant because it marks the first ‘open-loop’, loyalty-to-payments solution, that will be powered by Nayax’s CoinBridge technology. 

With this partnership, there will finally be a seamless conversion of loyalty points, rewards, or miles into transactions, at any store worldwide. This also means that complicated third party integrations or cross-brand partnerships will become a thing of the past because it will be easier than ever for consumers to utilize their rewards.

The threat of hacking is something that all operators must think about, but the good news is that it’s not something that can’t be beaten thanks to OptConnect and their managed connectivity solutions. 

Today, virtually every piece of equipment or device requires internet access. Though there are various options to get connectivity for your equipment or device, one of the riskiest options for businesses is 3rd party connectivity.

Being a third party on an already existing network can open your connection up to security threats. In the cases of both the Target and Home Depot security breaches, the hackers initially infiltrated both store’s networks by gaining access through an outside vendor’s system that was connected to their main network. Once they entered the network, they were able to pilfer customer’s payment card information systematically.
