SYSTEMS THAT EASE AND SECURE
The state of Alabama controls alcoholic beverage distribution, licensing, enforcement, and education through its Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. The Board operates a chain of 164 retail and wholesale stores statewide. On average, these stores generate more than 200,000 over-the-counter credit card transactions each month that require Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, high volume processing capabilities, and the need for innovative solutions to manage each transaction.
Alabama.gov and the Alabama Alcohol Beverage Control Board implemented a secure end-to-end payment processing system that integrated the NI C payment engine and a credit card and PIN debit authorization system with the state’s existing point of sale PC-based cash register stations and signature capture devices. Now all164 state operated alcohol retailers and wholesalers can quickly and efficiently accept, process, and authorize credit card payments over broadband or dial-up connections.
