PAX Technology Inc., one of the largest global payment solution providers and the #2 mobile POS provider in the world, will be entrusted with providing contactless and secure ways to pay at the WM Phoenix Open.

The WM Phoenix Open is one of the first major events of the PGA TOUR and famously known for the loudest hole in golf, “The Coliseum,” on the 16^th hole. With attendance expected to reach more than 500,000 fans throughout the event, welcoming them in a safe way is the utmost priority. To maintain safety and health standards in the fight against COVID-19, TPC Scottsdale is set to host the first-ever cashless WM Phoenix Open.

For more than 30 years, the organizers of the WM Phoenix open, the Thunderbirds, have relied on GCG Consulting, Inc. to provide merchant services and ensure that the process of accepting payments is seamless. “Our goal is to provide attendees fast, contactless, and secure payments while providing speed and ease of use for the Thunderbird staff,” said Greg Gooslin, CEO and President of GCG Consulting, Inc.

Knowing PAX Technology Inc.’s commitment to providing contactless and secure payments, GCG has chosen PAX to provide payment devices in their concessions and First American by Deluxe to process the thousands of transactions. Yumasoft, a POS application developer will be powering PAX devices through their point-of-sale application. “With the partnerships of PAX, First American by Deluxe, and Yumasoft, we can provide the Thunderbirds and attendees of the WM Phoenix Open the latest in technology and innovation,” continued Gooslin.

“GCG Consulting, Inc. is doing exactly what a valued and trusted business partner should do—identifying and using innovative solutions to help its customers succeed,” said John Newton, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at First American by Deluxe. “Leveraging payment technology to host a cashless event demonstrates the future of commerce and First American by Deluxe is pleased to partner with GCG to bring faster, secure online payments to the WM Phoenix Open.”

PAX Technology Inc.’s highest priority is to ensure the safety and security of their systems, products, and services for their customers.
