OMX-listed Seamless has concluded an agreement with Visma for the mobile payment solution SEQR (view press release). The agreement means that traders who use Visma’s cash register system can allow their customers to pay with a mobile phone, with Seamless receiving a transaction fee.
Visma aims to simplify and automate commercial processes by supplying software, payment services and in-store computer solutions.
“We are delighted that SEQR is now available in Visma Retail’s cash register system. Because of Visma’s very strong position in the Scandinavian convenience store and retail industries, more users now have the chance to experience just how simple it is to pay by mobile phone,” says Peter Fredell, CEO of Seamless and continues: “Retailers now have the possibility to avoid the high fees charged by card companies. They are also getting a very secure solution.”
“We are seeing a lot of interest in SEQR among our customers and we can confirm that our solution has the technology, speed and security that our industry needs. SEQR is simple to use and can be deployed by retailers in their stores without needing to invest in costly equipment. Retailers also have a fantastic opportunity to boost efficiency and reduce their transaction costs,” says Sven Arnquist, Head of Visma Retail in Sweden.
