Cashless technology provider Intercard exhibited its latest products, including the Mobile iReader, at this year’s DEAL trade show, which took place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, UAE, from February 10-12.

The Mobile iReader is an app that operators can install on an employee’s handheld device.

It turns that device into a mobile reader that scans RFID and barcoded play cards as well as QR codes and wristbands which are securely processed to the Intercard back-office system.

“Intercard has been leading the way with cashless technology in the Middle East since Encounter Zone, the first FEC in the region, opened in Wafi Mall in Dubai more than 20 years ago,” Alberto Borrero, Intercard’s senior vice-president of international sales, explained.

“Encounter Zone featured the region’s first debit card system, and Intercard’s continued innovations and renowned customer service have made its technology the most used in the market.”

Intercard’s CEO Scott Sherrod, Bajro Spahic, its quality assurance manager, and Borrero was at the show representing the company.
