Shenzhen, China, May 9, 2011 – A delegation from Turkey’s official investment agency, ISPAT, headed by Mr. Ilker Ayci, paid a visit to PAX corporate headquarters.
PAX entered the Turkish market during the last quarter of 2010 through the appointment of Verisoft, a reputable local payment system integrator.
Mr Ilker Ayci commented: “With close to 80 million people, Turkey is one of the largest countries in the region; there are 37 local Banks, 44 million credit card users, and over 1.5 million POS terminals”. He spoke about Turkey’s positive investment environment, the preferential conditions offered to high-tech enterprises such as PAX, and the importance of Turkey as a bridge between Europe and Asia.
PAX Vice President Mr Chen Zhi Yuan said: “The goal of PAX is to become a global POS terminal solution supplier, and PAX is very interested in providing more supplier choice in the Turkish market”.
Turkey’s Banks and other users of POS terminals have seen a massive breakdown in purchasing power. Just a couple of years ago there were more than 7 suppliers of POS solutions in Turkey. Due to industry consolidation only 2 are left today in Turkey and many are concerned that more competition and supplier offering is needed, a gap PAX aims to help fill.
