Visa Promotes Payment Tech At New York ePrix, Confederations Cup
NEW YORK — Visa’s Avin Arumugam, SVP of Internet of Things, felt that the first Formula E race in Brooklyn was the perfect place to showcase the bells and whistles offered by the payments technology company and jumped at the opportunity.
When Formula E vehicles that are electric-powered zoom around New York City with the skyline as a backdrop this weekend, fans can go cashless if they like and still be able to enjoy the event as digital payment will be accepted. A number of local restaurants are also offering their customers cashless experiences during the race weekend. The venue at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal will be essentially a cashless payment zone.
