Ingenico Group, which provides seamless solutions for in-store, online, and mobile commercial transactions, will run blockchain-based Fintech Pundi X’s software XPOS on its POS (Point of Sale) APOS A8 devices; to enable payments in cryptocurrency.
Following these partnership merchants across the world that use Ingenico’s Android-based POS solution, APOS A8 with the XPOS module can accept payments in cryptocurrencies, including ETH, BTC, BNB, XEM, DGX, DAI, NPXS, NPXSXEM, FX, QTUM, ENQ, KNC, and KCS. Customers who wish to make payments in cryptocurrency can use either the XWallet mobile app or XPASS card, which is a physical card used to make payments in multiple cryptocurrencies.
As all the payments are embedded on the blockchain, they are very secure. Moreover, the records are immutable and cannot be erased by anyone. As there are no banks or credit card companies involved, transaction costs will be lower, and transactions will be faster.
