Smartlink

Welcome to the latest edition of Smartlink. We are now rapidly approaching the end of a long-awaited warm British summer, where some hard work and a few football breaks have brought us the right results - from a business perspective clearly!

Our technical team achieved some essential approvals through which we have prolonged the life of certain legacy payment terminals. We signed a new strategic partnership with Mint Payment Solutions which will soon see STS' G8way providing enterprise mobile payments to Australia, the UK and other parts of the world. We are also pleased to announce that we rejoined Vendorcom with the aim of actively providing thought leadership within the payments community.

Our feature MyChip article reflects on whether becoming the Biggest Loser can be as good for your POS as it is for your health. Read and find out why less is more!

Last, and certainly not least, we would like to introduce and welcome our newly-appointed VPs, Tim Cheung and Luke Fuller, who are leading STS towards achieving our technical and commercial goals.

We hope you enjoy Smartlink and if you have any feedback or would like to see a particular topic covered in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@stspayments.com
