EUROPAY (Switzerland) SA was an Official Partner and supported Expo.02. 

As Switzerland's leading acquiring company (acceptance of cashless means of payment in shops and at vending machines), EUROPAY (Switzerland) SA considers it not only a pleasure but also an obligation to be present at such an important national event as Expo.02 - both as an official partner and as a supplier of the official payment system.

Our cashless payment methods EUROCARD/MasterCard, ec and CASH - still completely unknown at the last national exhibition - document the technological and social change in our country. They will become the official means of payment at Expo.02. The CASH product in particular will be accepted everywhere on the Arteplages.
