In a move not entirely surprising, USA Technologies, a major player in the vending machine industry, has informed their customers that they will no longer accept MasterCard debit cards as a payment form. Earlier this year, USA Technologies had announced that they would continue to accept Visa debit cards, but made no mention of MasterCard debit.
