Passport Technology, a casino services company, has signed an agreement with Barona Resort & Casino to install its payment solutions throughout the property near San Diego.

Barona has chosen Passport’s full suite of payment solutions, enhancing its financial services with check warranty, ATM, debit, credit card cash advances, and more.

These transactions will be powered by DataStream, Passport’s award-winning, proprietary cloud-based ATM and debit processing switch, providing processing redundancy and enhanced operational resilience to ensure seamless, secure transactions, according to the Las Vegas-based company.

“Passport’s payment solutions give us the reliability and capabilities we need to make cash services easier and more convenient for our players,” Enriquez said.

Combined with Passport’s commitment to exceptional customer service, this infrastructure helps maximize stability, minimize downtime, and ensure uninterrupted operations.
