Austin, Texas-based Dresser Wayne’s fuel dispensers will be equipped with contactless readers capable of handling ExpressPay, which was recently rolled out nationally on American Express’ Blue Card.
Dresser Wayne, a business unit of Dresser, Inc., announced it has received ExpressPay certification for its contactless card reader option for use with the Ovation(R) and Vista series fuel dispensers.
ExpressPay is a new payment feature consisting of a secure computer chip powered by radio frequency technology, which provides end-to-end transaction security and adheres to ISO 14443. This standard has been adopted by the major payment brands for conducting contactless payments. Certification from American Express assures the company’s equipment meets the requirements for stability, security, and interoperability necessary to participate in the ExpressPay program.
“We are excited to be working in partnership with American Express and are pleased to offer an ExpressPay reader on our fuel dispensers,” said Dan Harrell, senior director of marketing and product management at Dresser Wayne. “Consumers and merchants alike will benefit from a fueling experience enhanced by the increased speed and convenience provided by the ExpressPay feature,” added Mr. Harrell.
American Express recently announced it has begun issuing Blue from American Express credit cards with the ExpressPay feature in all 50 states.
