Enthusiastic fans and users thanks to cashless payment

ventopay’s decades of expertise in the implementation of large-scale payment system projects convinced LASK right away.

The football club quickly decided on purely cashless payment in the arena, as this offers a number of advantages for both fans and operators:

By using non-cash payment methods, fans can make their purchases faster during the short breaks, resulting in shorter queues. This can also help the operator increase food and drink sales in the arena.

The use of cashless payment methods also offers fans better transparency about the purchases made.

The operator, on the other hand, benefits from cost savings: By using cashless payment methods, the costs for cash handling are eliminated.

ventopay’s digital platform offers sustainable opportunities for innovation. LASK also opted for this platform in order to introduce further innovations step by step.

So it remains exciting…
