Verifone's contactless payment solution was awarded with "The Payment Solution" award at the European Retail Solutions Awards 2008. The award was jointly given to sandwich retailer EAT and solution providers Verifone, Commidea and Common Sense EPoS for installing a fully integrated contactless payment system within the UK retail environment.

The award-winning integrated solution uses a Verifone Vx 510 countertop payment system that runs Commidea's pre-certified Ocius software combined with VeriFone's contactless reader.  Using this solution, customers at EAT could choose the payment option that suited them best: cash, contactless card or Chip and PIN. For contactless transactions less than GBP10, customers could pay with just a wave of the card against the reader, thus taking less than a second for the entire process. 

Overall, the new solution resulted in considerable time savings for patrons at the retail outlet, one of the reasons that made the solution popular and noteworthy for the award.
