FECFIN and QR Pay Now Bring QR Payments to U.S.

In a major move for the amusement and vending industries, FECFIN (FEC Financial Group) has announced a strategic partnership with QR Pay Now. This joint venture is set to bring QR code–based payment solutions to the U.S. market enabling convenient contactless guest transactions that are easy to deploy.

Why It Matters

QR Pay Now, already supporting mobile wallet and QR transactions in international entertainment venues, resorts, clubs, and bars—is now entering the U.S. market via FECFIN—an established leader focused exclusively on payment processing for the amusement and unattended industries. Together, they will deliver a modern, contactless solution for stand-alone vending, amusement, and pool table transactions—as well as FECs seeking an easy-to-deploy payment alternative.

Scott Heit, founder and CEO of FECFIN, shared:
“We’ve seen operators embrace digital wallets and contactless pay more than ever before. Partnering with QR Pay Now lets us deliver a simple, cost-effective way for operators to accept payments without credit card terminals or customers needing to download an app. Operators have a modern solution with a robust backend along with 24/7 support and industry‑specific expertise.”

Meanwhile, Ray McGowan, Founder and Managing Director of QR Pay Now, commented:
“Expanding into the U.S. market with FECFIN is a natural next step. Their deep understanding of the amusement industry makes them the perfect partner to bring our QR platform to operators nationwide. Guests will love the speed and flexibility, and owners will enjoy reduced friction and increased throughput.”
