| |
Mumbai, August 29, 2024: HDFC Bank, India’s leading merchant acquiring bank, has introduced the All-In-One POS, a payment device equipped with the Soundbox feature for MSMEs. The device will enhance business operations for merchants across the country.
The All-In-One POS Device is a compact payment device that integrates point-of-sale (PoS), QR code scanner, and Soundbox, de-cluttering the cashier space. It simplifies payment acceptance by supporting every form of payment, including card dip, tap & pay, and QR scan, all with one compact device. The device also provides instant voice notifications of payments, offering reassurance to both merchants and customers. It seamlessly connects with the Bank’s SmartHub Vyapar merchant app, providing merchants with a single view of all transactions for easy reconciliation with their bank account statements.
This device represents a significant leap forward in digital payments, catering to the evolving needs of merchants in an increasingly cashless economy. With UPI and cards becoming the preferred modes of payment at offline merchants, managing high volumes of transactions and tracking payments in real-time has become crucial for businesses. The All- In-One POS device addresses this need by providing instant audio confirmations through its Soundbox feature.
