Semnox partners with Univest Capital to offer financing program for FECs

Semnox Solutions, a technology provider for the entertainment and amusement industry, has announced a new initiative with Univest Capital, Inc.

Designed to aid family entertainment centres (FECs), the new promotional financing agreement will allow operators to invest in modern guest-facing technology without the need for upfront capital.

With guest expectations rising in 2026, FEC operators face increasing pressure to deliver faster transactions, cashless experiences, and seamless access across games, food, and entertainment.

While staying competitive requires upgraded technology, budget constraints frequently delay key improvements.

Through the new limited-time initiative, operators will be able to access 0% financing for 12 months, with the first instalment due one month after signing.

The new offer will allow venues to preserve cash flow during a year of major reinvestment and expansion while implementing Semnox Card Systems.

Financing program supports venue expansion

"This program is about removing hesitation from the decision-making process," says Phil Showler, FEC, head of sales for North America at Semnox Solutions.

"Most operators know when updates are needed, but timing and budget often slow progress. This gives them an option to move forward without putting everything on hold, which is critical as guest expectations continue to rise."

The financing program aims to streamline operations by supporting Semnox solutions that reduce wait times, enable cashless play, and improve visibility into guest behaviour and revenue.

Univest Capital, Inc. sees the partnership as a means to foster sustainable growth in the attractions industry with practical financing options tailored to operators' needs.

"Entertainment venues are navigating rapid changes in guest expectations and operational complexity,” says Jim Hines of Univest Capital, Inc. "This program gives operators a flexible path without delaying improvements due to cost concerns."

Available through 31 March 2026, the promotional financing program has minimum purchase requirements and standard fees, with eligibility subject to approval.

Semnox Solutions also recently successfully implemented its comprehensive venue management platform at Playcity Milano, a premier family entertainment centre operated by Allstar SRL in Milan's Bicocca shopping mall.
