Cashless payments have become a habit. Like many consumers, Ms. NKNgân (Hanoi) shared that in the past 5 years, all payment transactions for buying vegetables, meat, gas, taking motorbike taxis, etc., she has transferred money, swiped cards or scanned QR codes. According to the 2023 consumer payment attitude study conducted by VISA, up to 88% of Vietnamese consumers do not use cash when paying. Cashless payments are taking place strongly at retail stores, convenience stores, food services, etc. with 2 main forms, including card payments and contactless payments. According to payment technology experts, the booming trend of cashless payments brings many benefits to consumers, but also creates significant challenges for small-scale businesses. For example, at many restaurants, foreign customers often use international payment cards, while stores can only accept cash, scan QR codes or transfer money. On the other hand, to pay via POS, store owners must invest a large amount of money. Techcombank's SoftPOS helps small businesses reduce costs and optimize management efficiency. With the desire to accompany store owners, Techcombank said it has launched the SoftPOS payment solution. For only VND 15,000/month, SoftPOS helps businesses receive multi-modal payments via smartphones/tablets and electronic information portals. Specifically, customers only need to install the POS application to accept domestic and international card payments, contactless payments via Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or Garmin Pay and QR code payments. This solution is very suitable for grocery stores, mini supermarkets, eateries, restaurants, cafes... that need to receive card payments but have not invested in specialized equipment. So when installing ePOS on Android devices (operating system 8.1 or higher, with NFC support), store owners can receive payments inside and outside the store, record money quickly, and issue electronic receipts immediately after successful transactions. Not only that, according to Techcombank, when registering for the Techcombank SoftPOS solution, small businesses can also enjoy many other benefits such as managing transactions, employees, counters, electronic invoices, etc. through the Merchant Portal electronic information portal. In particular, from now until December 31, Techcombank will waive service fees and transaction processing fees for customers.
