Verve, Africa’s payment cards and digital token brand, has partnered with Alcineo, a provider of payment software and services, to provide a software point-of-sale (SoftPOS) SDK solution.
The payment brand said the partnership will provide a cost-effective solution that will enable merchants to use mobile devices to accept contactless payments from customers.
It added that the SoftPOS solution will leverage Verve’s secure payments platform and Alcineo’s expertise in payment software development to aid seamless and secure payment experience.
Verve stated that the solution is expected to be particularly beneficial to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often faced with the challenges of accessing traditional point-of-sale systems.
It included that the SoftPOS deployment in Nigeria is expected to further strengthen the growth of digital payments in locations where the Verve cards are accepted.
Speaking on the partnership, Vincent Ogbunude, Managing Director of Verve International, noted that Verve has continued to find innovative ways in ensuring that Nigerians get access to easy and convenient payment options.
He added that the partnership will significantly impact the growth of Nigeria’s digital payment ecosystem.
“We are excited to partner with Alcineo to deploy this innovative SoftPOS solution in Nigeria,” he said.
“Alcineo’s expertise in payment software development will be instrumental in ensuring that the solution is secure, reliable, and easy to use for both merchants and customers.
“The SoftPOS SDK solution being deployed by Verve and Alcineo has the potential to increase access to payment infrastructure and support the growth of the digital financial system.
“This partnership represents an important development in the African payments landscape and a positive step towards increasing the accessibility and security of digital payments in Nigeria.”
