The Era of Contactless Payments with Mobile Devices

As digitalization accelerates, payment systems are undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional POS terminals are being replaced by smartphones and tablets—and at the heart of this transformation are innovative SoftPOS solutions like those offered by Firisbe Fintech.

Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, Android-based mobile devices can now function as full-featured POS terminals. But how exactly does the system work, and why is it becoming a viable replacement for physical POS devices?

 

What is SoftPOS?

SoftPOS (Software Point of Sale) is a solution that enables businesses to accept payments using a dedicated application installed on a mobile device—no additional hardware required. It works on Android-based smartphones, tablets, or kiosks.

Through Firisbe’s Tap2Mobile technology, businesses can tap to pay on phone, accepting contactless payments directly on their devices without needing a traditional POS terminal.

With SoftPOS solutions, you can:

  • Accept contactless cards
  • Process payments via digital wallets
  • Operate seamlessly with NFC-enabled mobile devices
