Why haven’t there been in-lane bill payment services before?
Large mainstream retailers require rapid, low-overhead transactions in their checkout lanes. This is because of high volumes and rapid sales flow, and also because large retailers keep prices low with small margins. Such retailers will not accept long delays in checkout lanes, or long lines at service counters. Before the PayScan® solution, the available payment technologies simply weren’t rapid enough for retailers to install them in the checkout lane.
