The VX690 has the ability to roll over between Wifi, GPRS and 3G ensuring constant connectivity for merchants, Verifone said.
Verifone added that its solutions are capable of accepting a variety of payment methods including recent innovations such as Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay.
The two companies have also agreed to work together to bring P2PE compliant solutions to UK retailers and deliver new multi-communication devices to customers.
Verifone Europe president June Felix said: “We are truly excited to work with Worldpay to drive greater value and a richer in-store experience to consumers. The 3-in-1 capabilities offered by the VX690 solution reduces the complexity and cost of handling three separate products that are needed today.”
