Amos Tamam: Bringing Modern Money to Taxi

It is so frustrating when I go somewhere that does not accept credit cards. Cash has nearly been eliminated from my home because using my debit card is so much easier, not to mention the relief it's been on my back. Luckily, I don’t need to worry about carrying cash when I ride in a taxi in New York City thanks to the efforts of Amos Tamam.

After receiving his electrical engineering degree from Tel Aviv University in Israel, Amos Tammam migrated to the United States in the early 1980’s. After driving taxis for several years, Amos Tamam decided to use his engineering skills to improve this industry. He is currently the CEO of Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc. the leaders in creating credit card readers for taxis.
