Qatar National Bank has introduced a mobile point-of-sale solution, QNB mPOS, designed to support merchant growth in Qatar.
The QNB mPOS card reader will connect to the merchant’s smart phone or tablet, turning it into a fully certified EMV Chip & PIN mobile payment terminal.
The solution, which is powered by Swiftech, was developed by Mathema Technology. It can be customised according to individual merchant needs and is compatible across iOS and Android platforms of any smart device. In conjunction with Bluetooth-enabled card readers, the solution allows merchants to accept payments in a secured environment.
The QNB mPOS system will furnish micro and small merchants with card acceptance functionality, and can also integrate with the complex back end systems of larger retailers to provide a robust mobile POS solution.
“The mPOS solution has shown potential in the international markets where merchants of all sizes can accept payments using their mobile phones,” said Mrs. Heba Al Tamimi, General Manager Retail at QNB Group. “Customer experience is enriched with the ease of making payments at any store location or at their doorstep, which results in increase customer loyalty.”
“QNB’s mPOS solution will provide retailers such as delivery, merchants at exhibitions, VIP services, transportation, and restaurants with a new payment channel that is easy to install,” she added.
