blink, the award-winning FinTech platform by Emtel, has launched white-label devices on its third anniversary, providing an innovative and simple solution for its merchants.
In line with its core philosophy of innovation, blink has launched pioneering point-of-sale (POS) devices for merchants.
The point-of-sale (POS) device is enabled with Dynamic QR. It is simple to use and eliminates the possibility of additional and incorrect entries. The cashier simply needs to punch in the amount, and the POS generates a Dynamic QR instantly. Customers can use any payment app to scan the QR. This eliminates the need for the cashier/merchant to check their own phone or the customer’s phone after each transaction to verify that the payment has indeed been made. Once the payment is done, the merchant receives a confirmation on the device. The QR cannot be scanned again, eliminating repeat and duplicate payments.
Another version of the POS comes with a sound confirmation of the transaction. This eliminates the need for the cashier/merchant to check transaction confirmation on their phones, thus making it easier and more convenient for them.
Kresh Goomany, CEO, Emtel, notes: “Emtel once again releases innovative offerings with the QR payment confirmation speaker, a pioneering product in the POS space. Cashiers/merchants no longer have to check for confirmation of transactions on their phones. Our devices ensure that merchants can get an immediate alert without needing to turn away from their core operations, in a hands-free and hassle-free manner.”
He also added, “We will soon be launching a 100% till-integrated model in collaboration with the biggest brands in Mauritius, showcasing the amazing capabilities of blink and the convenience it brings to customers and merchants.”
For his part, Atul Bhatia, Chief FinTech Officer, Emtel, states: “At blink by Emtel, we are always striving to improve merchant & customer experience to the next level. With these devices, blink aims to simplify digital payments and reduce human errors as well as the risk of fraud, thus supporting merchants and customers alike. Our QR payment speakers provide immediate audio confirmation of a successful transaction.”
