Sleepy’s realizes EMV, NFC payment dream

Sleepy’s, The Mattress Professionals is staying awake when it comes to the latest in consumer payment.



The privately held specialty mattress and bedding accessories retailer has committed to upgrading to Ingenico Group smart terminals to securely accept EMV credit and debit cards and NFC/contactless mobile payments at all of its 1,000-plus stores by the end of 2015.



Ingenico Group provided Sleepy’s with its iSC Touch 480 smart terminals and the IngEstate remote terminal management system. The smart terminals allow Sleepy's to accept debit cards, EMV chip cards and NFC/contactless payments from customers. The terminals also include large touchscreen displays that enable signature capture.



Specific benefits for Sleepy’s include reduced processing and gateway fees, the ability to offer multiple payment options, and of course compliance with EMV fraud liability mandate.



“Sleepy’s evaluated all the top vendors, and found that Ingenico Group was the best fit for our needs,” said Tom Citrano, director of quality assurance at Sleepy’s. “We were impressed with their global experience and also with the responsiveness and flexibility of the Ingenico Group team – from our initial meeting all the way through our deployment, they were by our side facilitating every step of the way to ensure that everything went smoothly.”
