PaymentWERK brings cashless payment to the Veolia Towers!
The Veolia Towers have a new partner at their side. The payment service provider Payment WORK will equip the Hamburg basketball team with state-of-the-art card terminals. Fans can look forward to shopping at the Inselpark Arena during home games will be much smoother.
From now on, card payments should be possible at various points - at the box office, in the fan shop and at the catering stands. This allows viewers to pay for their purchases quickly and securely using checking cards, credit or debit cards as well as smartphones and smartwatches. The return of deposit cups is also processed cashlessly; the deposit amount is credited directly to the payment method used.
A fan-friendly experience
As Konstantin Parthey, Head of Sales at PaymentWERK, emphasizes, supporting the Veolia Towers and improving the fan experience is the primary goal of this partnership. Jan Fischer, commercial director of Veolia Towers, is equally enthusiastic: “With the new technology, we are reducing waiting times and making the gaming experience even more pleasant for our fans.”
PaymentWERK is a Hamburg company and subsidiary of EDEKABANK that specializes in cashless payments. Fans will also be able to contact the payment service provider via social media on Instagram. The new format is particularly exciting#MoneyShot, which will be launched as part of the partnership and brings the best moments of every home game directly to mobile devices.
Cashless payments are trending
The development of cashless payment transactions in Germany is obvious. Statista reports that in 2023 non-cash payments in Germany reached an impressive 63.6 trillion euros. The debit card has replaced direct debit as the most commonly used non-cash payment method. It turns out that the demand for cashless payment methods is increasing - 88% of Germans expect to be able to pay cashless everywhere, according to a GfK study.
The increased use of mobile payment methods, such as apps such as Apple Pay, has led to more and more entrepreneurs expanding their payment options. Providers such as payment experts, myPOS, Zettle and Payone offer different models that are tailored to the needs of small and large companies.
An example: With a turnover of 4,000 euros, the total costs for card payments are around 57.25 euros, which corresponds to 1.43% of turnover. The Handelsblatt emphasizes that the cost structure of providers varies and transparency in fees is an important criterion for entrepreneurs.
The integration of cashless payment methods goes beyond sports and reflects the changing needs of a digitalized society. Whether in the supermarket or in the arena, cashless payments are increasingly making everyday life more efficient and easier.
