This year, SFS sponsored the Best Payment System category which recognised the best option among any payment technology currently active in the vending sector, such as card, contactless, phone, cash and systems. The award went to Nayax for the VPOS Touch.
In addition, SFS sponsored the event’s charity raffle in aid of the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice. The event raised £1700, which was matched by SFS to bring the total to £3,400.
Ines Escola, Vendor Finance Sales Manager at Siemens Financial Services in the UK, commented “We’re proud to continue to be part of such a high-profile event in the vending industry. This has not only been a great opportunity to promote innovation in the sector and exchange new ideas in a challenging environment; it has also
been an occasion to try and make a difference, supporting local charities such as Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice which helps children with life-threatening conditions and their families”.
The Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice also commented: “Thanks to the generosity of participants in the raffle and the Siemens Financial Services match funding, this incredible £3,400 donation could enable us to provide over 90 hours of support to life-limited and life-threatened children and their families in our community. Thank you so much for supporting the vital work we do!”.
