POINT OF SALE (POS) MACHINES FOR NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS

Merchant Processing Services, also known as Merchant POS, allow businesses to securely accept payments through the use of credit cards, debit cards, or NFC/RFID-enabled devices. These services allow merchants to accept a variety of cards, such as RuPay, VISA, VISA ELECTRON, MASTERCARD and MAESTRO, issued globally. In order to use these services, a merchant must obtain POS machines from a bank. The POS machines are installed at the merchant’s place of business and provide instantaneous card validation, charge slip generation, and electronic settlement at the end of the day. Payments for these transactions are credited to a predetermined bank account on the next working day.
