PayRange Takes The 'Coin' Out Of Coin Laundry

The mobile payment solution found on vending machines across 300 cities is now coming to laundry machines to make laundry day easier for consumers. 

PORTLAND, OR (May 30, 2017) – PayRange Inc., maker of the world’s simplest mobile payment solution for machines, announced it is available for commercial laundry. Laundromats are synonymously known as “coin laundry” due to their reliance on coins to operate. In a mature 80- year old industry, mobile payment innovation brings the commercial washers and dryers into the digital age aligning with today’s consumers. The innovative solution allows operators to upgrade existing machines in two minutes to accept payment via a smart phone. 

“We especially like the eureka feeling PayRange has provided to make Jetz feel like we are stretching our wings in what we see as a truly transformational application of technology in our space,” stated Scott Schenk, Chief Financial Officer for Jetz Service Co., Inc. which is rolling out the technology across the Midwest. “While it is still early, we have seen not only revenue growth, but also so many other facets that we never knew how to tweak before or that we never even thought of such as freeing up people from carrying piggy banks, to pricing flexibility, to near real-time data. The opportunities have made us re-think our space and how much more exciting and cutting edge we can make it for a technologically advanced population that may currently look down on coin vended laundry as old, clunky, and dirty. PayRange is new, smooth, and clean.” 

The PayRange solution is available for Speed Queen and Maytag machines. Other manufacturers are working with PayRange to have their equipment certified. 

While most people think of coin laundry in laundromats, commercial laundry is found across hundreds of thousands of locations such as multi-family apartment complexes, colleges/universities, retirement communities, hotels/motels, trucking plazas, and campgrounds. 

PayRange will be exhibiting its cashless mobile payment solution at the Clean Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, June 5 through June 8.

Editor's insight: Making the PayRange mobile payment platform available across different industries goes a long way into making it an appealing option for consumers. Consumers don't want to have a different mobile app for each place they visit and spend money. Adding laundry available using the same app as the vending machine is a logical step.
