SA Payments Facilitator Hellopay Announces Its Partnership With Mastercard To Roll Out SoftPOS. South African payments facilitating startup Hellopay has announced that it has partnered with Mastercard in order to roll out SoftPOS, which is a revolutionary technology which enables NFC android devices to accept contactless card payments. The software conveniently allows people to do business on their mobile/tablet device.
Zunaid Miya, Managing Director, Financial Services Business at Hello Group told Cape Business News that, “Eliminating the need for a dedicated terminal and enabling the merchant to use their cellphone to accept card payments is revolutionary and a significant game changer within the SMME sector. Lowering the barrier to entry for merchants to accept card payments is sure to result in a significant increase in the number of transactions settled via card. We are pleased to join forces with Mastercard to enable businesses like spaza shops, independent retailers, market stall traders, mobile servicemen and tradesmen to accept safe, and secure contactless payments.”
