The proceeds will be used towards the purchase of e-Port devices for the Quick Start program. The Quick Start Program is a unique offer that gives vending machine operators and bottlers a 'no money down' program to bring their customers the convenience of using their credit and debit cards to vend snacks and beverages without the up-front cost of an e-Port.

"While we are pleased by the growing acceptance of cashless vending, we believe the ability to offer customers the advantages of the e-Port without the up-front investment will drive adoption and significantly increase our recurring revenue," said George R. Jensen, Jr., Chairman and CEO of USA Technologies. "We designed Quick Start so operators and bottlers can immediately realize positive cash flow and in a quick, easy and financially convenient way. Our customers have clearly indicated they want a service that gives them greater flexibility to acquire our e-Port services, and Quick Start responds to that market need."

The Quick Start program enables buyers to proliferate credit card acceptance across their fleets of vending machines without tapping into capital dollars. With Quick Start, vending operators and bottlers pay only $24.95 per month for the e-Port device and full e-Port Connect services over a pre-determined period. The Program significantly lowers the cost and expense of getting started, while allowing customers to benefit from the technology, and give them the ability to compete immediately in the cashless marketplace.
