Card Briefs: Proton Network Signs Terminal Vendor Link

Proton World International said it has signed a cooperation agreement with Intellect, the Australian smart card systems and terminal vendor.

Intellect has been certified as a payment and card-loading terminal producer for the international Proton network. Intellect also signed an agreement with Banksys, the Belgian bank technology consortium and co-owner of Proton World, for joint development of a new generation of outdoor chip card terminals for gasoline stations.

"Having invested over $15 million in a family of electronic purse terminal products over the last two years, Intellect can now offer a full range of indoor and outdoor terminals, from a portable home terminal to multifunctional terminals that can handle all types of cards using multiple networks including wide-area radio transmissions," Intellect said in a statement.
