FreedomPay, Inc., the leader in contactless transactions and settlements to the nation's largest hospitality foodservice providers, healthcare systems, Fortune 1000 corporations, and educational institutions, today announced that its online hosted network integrates fully with the read/write capability of HID's iCLASS 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technology. 

"The FreedomPay cashless application, when coupled with the iCLASS card, allows employees and students to link funds directly to their iCLASS card," said Jim Ellis, FreedomPay's SVP.  "The solution offers speed of service and convenience, including a higher level of fraud protection and authentication that is not seen in other ID technologies."

The combination of FreedomPay's cashless network with HID's iCLASS technology illustrates how convenience and security come together to create clearly identifiable benefits for the enterprise, the employee and the merchants. 

"FreedomPay has the appropriate depth of understanding of each of the key business elements required for success, and has put the partnerships into place to make it happen," said David Koma, Director of Business Development, HID Connect™.
