In the build-up to RBTE 2017, we will be shining the spotlight on some of its exhibitors and the personalities behind them. Today, we hear from Steely Dan fan and managing director at Ingenico Northern Europe, Ian Benn.

About the company...

Why are you returning to RBTE 2017?

Ingenico is widely known as the market leader for terminals but we are less known for our leadership in large-scale retail payment service provision. This is a good opportunity for us to show the market how we bring together our physical presence with our software and service suite to help larger retailers deliver real, practical  omnichannel without over-long, over-complicated, risky and expensive programmes.

How effective is RBTE compared to your other forms of marketing?  

Every form of marketing has a different purpose. RBTE is a good opportunity to spend face-to-face time with the people who shape the UK retail industry

Tell us about your company in Tweet form (no more than 140 characters)…

Even as I type this sentence, 30 million people are buying something using Ingenico technology. We are the world’s #1 point of trust between merchant and customer.
