The FinTech platform provides businesses with a range of payment processing tools including point-of-sale (POS) terminals, loyalty and retention programmes and marketing efforts.

Its POS solution is touchscreen and comes with a contactless card reader to make the process seamless. Customers can also use the device to sign-up to a store’s loyalty programme. A customer’s phone number will be linked to their card and the terminal will automatically remember them whenever they make a payment.

Loyalty points can be viewed by a customer by signing in through their mobile phone and businesses can set the entire reward scheme up themselves.
