WASHINGTON, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Electronic

representing the payments technology world, today opened its doors on
the largest event in the organization's 25-year history. TRANSACT 14,
which launches today and runs until April 10 at the Mandalay Bay
Convention Center in Las Vegas, will welcome thousands of attendees
from around the world, keynote speakers from Visa, Google and
