QwickPAY delivers an added layer of security, flexibility, and speed to ExpiTrans’ already robust list of gateway services, equipment, POS, and processing platform partners

SEAL BEACH, Calif., July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — MagTek, a global leader in payment technology and security solutions, is partnering with ExpiTrans, a premier provider of end-to-end payment processing and merchant services, to offer MagTek’s QwickPAY POS Software to ExpiTrans’ small-to-mid-sized retail merchants.

We were impressed with the security built behind QwickPAY and the simplicity of the application

QwickPAY is a versatile point-of-sale payment application available for Android, iOS, and Windows, enabling merchants to securely accept digital payments. Its security features are unparalleled, offering instant encryption, card and device authentication, counterfeit card detection, and card tokenization. Sensitive card details are never stored on the host device (mobile phone, tablet, or browser). Instead, the information is transmitted via secure connections for decryption, authentication, and processing through the L3-certified Magensa Gateway.

QwickPAY uses the MagneSafe® secure card reader authenticator (SCRA) family of hardware. This versatile hardware family supports connections to a wide range of devices, including smartphones and tablets, via USB, Lightning, or Bluetooth® LE technology. This enables merchants to accept various payment methods, including tap, dip, swipe, and manual entry, depending on the device’s capabilities.

QwickPAY is design to accept payments:

– In-store: at counter, pay-at-the-table, mobile line-busting, and unattended kiosk

– Mobile point-of-sale: ready for curbside or delivery

– Call-in: for takeout and over-the phone orders

– Online: for eCommerce

– Kiosk: for standalone donations and transactions

“We are excited to offer QwickPAY to our merchants,” said Austin Nobles, Director of Operations at ExpiTrans. “We were impressed with the security built behind QwickPAY and the simplicity of the application. It is a great solution for our small-to-mid-sized merchants that need a quick, secure, and easy way to start accepting digital payments.”

ExpiTrans is a single-source provider of end-to-end payment processing and merchant services. ExpiTrans focuses on keeping businesses and their customers safe from fraud and theft. They provide the newest technology, including chip reader terminals to ensure secure processing. ExpiTrans offers 100% United States based customer service and first-class tech support. ExpiTrans sends easy to read monthly statements, to boost the merchant experience.

“Having ExpiTrans as a resale partner expands our reach with QwickPAY,” said Andy Deignan President and CEO of MagTek. “Their commitment to meeting merchants’ needs is evident through their 24/7 support, adaptable equipment, transparent fees, and a dedicated focus on security which is where QwickPAY excels.”

QwickPAY makes things simple – download the free QwickPAY App, onboard your merchant account with ExpiTrans, and purchase the secure card reader authenticator that best fits your needs, to accept Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover, and mobile wallets. Go to the QwickPAY website to schedule a meeting with ExpiTrans to expedite your onboarding, request a demo, and a quote.

A successful student pilot demonstrates how secure digital records and AI guidance can help them access education, employment, housing, and life opportunities

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vaultzy, an AI-powered document management and life assistant platform, today announced the successful completion of a pilot with Miracle University, demonstrating how secure digital records and intelligent guidance can help students overcome barriers to education, employment, and economic mobility.

California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA, noted, “Never expired. Never lost. Your vital documents, all in one secure place.”

For many students, particularly those facing economic hardship or life disruptions, lost identification, unavailable transcripts, and scattered paperwork can delay enrollment, employment, housing applications, financial aid, and access to public services. Vaultzy was created to address this challenge by providing a secure, user-controlled platform for lifelong document management.

Beyond document storage, Vaultzy recently launched the first version of its AI-powered Life Agent. The platform allows users to interact with their personal records and receive guidance related to major life transitions. By understanding what documents a user has available, the Life Agent can help identify requirements and next steps for education, employment, healthcare, government services, financial planning, and other important milestones.

The pilot was conducted in partnership with Miracle University, a Sacramento-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students who have left the traditional education system earn their high school diplomas and achieve academic and career success. The initiative focused on helping students digitize, organize, and securely manage their most important records while introducing them to emerging technologies that can support their long-term success.

“Our mission is to help students overcome barriers and unlock their full potential,” said Dr. Kadhir Raja, Founder of Miracle University. “Students need access to their documents, confidence in managing important life transitions, and guidance on what comes next. Vaultzy helps bring all of these together, empowering students to navigate education, employment, housing, and other life opportunities with greater confidence and independence.”

The pilot demonstrated the importance of giving individuals lifelong access to trusted records while providing the tools and guidance needed to use them effectively. As California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA, noted, “Never expired. Never lost. Your vital documents, all in one secure place.”

Looking ahead, Vaultzy plans to continue expanding its AI-powered capabilities. “We envision a future where every individual has a trusted AI companion that not only safeguards their records but also helps guide them through life’s most important transitions,” said Avanti Ramraj, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Vaultzy.

The success of the Miracle University pilot is helping inform broader discussions with educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions, and public-sector leaders interested in modernizing how individuals manage and access trusted records while receiving guidance through important life transitions. One of the most promising opportunities is the potential application of Vaultzy within programs serving foster youth, seniors, and other underserved populations.

About Vaultzy

Vaultzy is an AI-powered document management and life assistant platform that helps individuals securely store, manage, and share important records throughout their lives. Combining secure document management, document intelligence, multilingual assistance, and agentic AI capabilities, Vaultzy is building the infrastructure for lifelong document ownership and trusted digital identity.

About Miracle University

Miracle University is a Sacramento-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students overcome educational barriers and achieve academic, personal, and professional success.
