USA Technologies ePort Integrates Support for Discover Network Zip Technology into Its Contactless Payment Vending System

Discover Network Purchases 1000 ePort Cashless Systems for Vending
MALVERN, Pa.--(Business Wire)--USA Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:USAT) announced today that its ePort
cashless system for vending now supports Discover Network Zip
contactless technology. Discover Network is a business unit of
Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS).

In addition to USA Technologies' integration of Discover Network
Zip technology into its readers, Discover Network also has purchased
1000 ePort cashless systems for vending. Discover expects to deploy
the systems by the end of this month.

The terminals connected USA Technologies' network, which are
expected to be deployed in vending machines in major cities
nationwide, accept all major credit cards (Discover, American Express,
MasterCard, and Visa) both traditional magnetic swipe credit cards and
contactless cards and other NFC devices.

"Discover is aware of the recent successes and the accelerated
adoption of credit and debit acceptance in the vending industry. They
are one of the first credit card companies to break into the $46
billion industry in North America utilizing USA Technologies' ePort
technology," said Wendy Jenkins, vice president of marketing, USA
Technologies Inc. "Discover has a reputation for pursuing more
convenient ways to make shopping easier for their customers, and we
are delighted to be working with them to provide their customers the
ability to use their Discover Network cards when making purchases from
vending machines," she said.

"Discover Network is committed to supporting credit and debit
payment technology in vending applications," said Beth Horowitz, vice
president of product management for Discover Financial Services. "Our
goal is to build upon our payment strengths so we can deliver an even
wider and more simplified customer purchasing experience for Discover
Network cardholders. Working with USA Technologies helps us achieve
that goal."

Studies have shown that ePort has resulted in a 32 percent
increase in average ticket sales in some markets, generating increased
revenue streams, while improving efficiency, productivity and security
for operators through online auditing and monitoring.

"Most significantly, ePort improves customer satisfaction,
overcoming the need for consumers to carry change, and it accepts all
forms of cashless payment, current and emerging, including Near Field
Communications (NFC) which allows consumers to make purchases with
their cellular phones," said Ms Jenkins.
