Phos teams up with Diebold Nixdorf to deliver SoftPoS solutions

By Gloria Methri

Global SoftPoS payment orchestrator Phos has announced that enterprise retailers can now add SoftPoS as an option to their existing payment acceptance solution. The new functionality is the result of a partnership with Diebold Nixdorf, which specialises in automating and digitising the banking and shopping experience.

The solution will enable retailers to expand their number of payment acceptance points without the traditional expense of payment hardware. It is also acquirer agnostic, allowing Diebold Nixdorf to launch the solution for any existing acquirer its retail customers may be using.

Leveraging phos’ experience of completing acquirer integrations will ensure retailers can easily accept card and digital wallet payments on any NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet.bnThe solution will be showcased on mobile devices for staff journeys by Diebold Nixdorf at NRF 2023: Retail’s Big Show in New York, and EuroShop 2023 in Düsseldorf.

Brad Hyett, CEO of phos, said, “Through our partnership with Diebold Nixdorf, we set out to help retailers capitalise on the opportunity to expand their payment acceptance points. SoftPoS solutions continue to innovate the payment landscape and this announcement is a clear demonstration of its application on a large scale. Diebold Nixdorf is at the heart of global retail activity globally, and with our future-proof technology we hope to continue to address the unique challenges across all retail segments and industries.

Ben Gale, Senior Vice President, EMEA APAC and Global Accounts, added, “We are excited to partner with phos to help more people obtain the benefits of SoftPoS solutions. We already have thousands of users leveraging POS, which are now owned by acquirers. Enabling phos to remain an acquirer agnostic solution will further drive adoption as we aim to enable retailers deliver relevant journeys like queue busting or assisted selling for today’s retail environment.”

Phos currently has 14 certified acquirer connections, as the FinTech continues to expand globally.
