Duane Reade Implements Ingenico
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 10 -- Ingenico, the world's leading provider of electronic payment terminals, announced today the installation of the eN-Touch 1000 with contactless reading technology from On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) at all Duane Reade locations by the end of 2005. The eN-Touch 1000 supports Duane Reade customer "tap and go" payment with American Express(R) ExpressPay(TM), MasterCard(R) PayPass(TM) and Visa(R) branded contactless cards.

Contactless payment offers Duane Reade customers increased checkout speed and improved payment convenience.
