How Cloud Terminals Are Revolutionising Contactless Payments

In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses and consumers are moving towards cashless and contactless transactions. Traditional POS systems often require costly hardware, making it challenging for small businesses and mobile vendors to keep up. The Cloud Terminal is changing the game by transforming smartphones into powerful payment processing tools, eliminating the need for external devices while providing a seamless, secure payment experience.

 

What is a Cloud Terminal?

A Cloud Terminal is an innovative NFC tap-to-pay mobile app that turns Android and Apple smartphones and tablets into full-fledged POS terminals. With this technology, merchants can process credit and debit card transactions without requiring additional payment hardware.

Key features of a Cloud Terminal include:

  • Tap-on-phone contactless card payments – Accepts payments directly on a smartphone or tablet.
  • No external card reader needed – Eliminates the need for bulky payment terminals.
  • Soft POS solution – A turnkey software-based payment solution that integrates with ISVs, PayFacs, and Acquirers.
  • Secure transactions – Uses the device’s NFC reader and touchscreen PIN pad to process payments securely.

  2. Seamless Integration – Can be easily rebranded and integrated into existing payment infrastructures.
  3. Flexibility – Ideal for small businesses, food vendors, and enterprises looking to expand their payment options.
  4. Enhanced Security – Cloud Terminal meets EMV security standards, ensuring safe transactions.
