Written by Conn Byrne | Jan 25, 2023 4:36:27 AM

Overview of Company  

 

MinuteKey made the world’s first self-service key duplication machine. They were acquired by Hillman Group in 2018 and now have over 6,300+ highly accurate, reliable, and easy-to-use key-cutting kiosks across the US.

The Problem

 

The MinuteKey team are pioneers in the unattended space and wanted to find new ways to secure and improve the payments experience for their merchants and customers. They came to Payroc because they needed to migrate an existing estate of kiosks to EMV, they were facing constant billing issues and unnecessarily high PCI compliance fees



 

The Solution

  1. Unattended EMV certification with contactless payments
  2. PCI Compliance costs minimized
  1. Seamless migration of existing fleet
  2. Streamlined Onboarding Process


MinuteKEY replaced their legacy MSR readers with a secure fleet of unattended EMV certified Ingenico IUC285 devices. Our team of payment experts ran a seamless integration and were able to successfully migrate over 5,000 units within one month and without incident.

The Results

With this solution, MinuteKey was able to offer simpler, faster, and secure contact and contactless payment options to their customers. Our solution resulted in significant cost savings of $22,000 per month across 6,300+ locations. It’s been over 2 years and we continue to serve as their dedicated partner in success as they grow with major retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Walmart.

What their team said...

“Working with the Payroc team has been simply awesome. I have collaborated technically with a few external companies now and I can say with confidence that working with Payroc has been the easiest, quickest, and most pleasant experience by a huge margin. The fast responses and timely inputs have helped us solve problems quickly. Enjoyed working with these folks.”
