By Delisha Fernandes

Oman-based digital bank Sohar International has introduced its Soft POS solution to enhance the payment experience for both merchants and customers.

Soft POS empowers businesses to conduct sales transactions effortlessly and securely through their Android smart devices. Customers can make secure transactions using their contactless cards, with the added convenience of accepting payments through Samsung Pay. By simply downloading the user-friendly Sohar International POS app, businesses can seamlessly integrate their NFC-enabled Android devices and eliminate the need for traditional POS machines.

Sajeel Bashiruddin, Chief Digital Officer at Sohar International, said, “In order to thrive, it’s imperative to extend payment methods beyond cash. The soft POS is not only meeting this imperative but also establishing a new benchmark for seamless and convenient payment solutions. At Sohar International, we are committed to driving digital transformation within the banking sector. With the introduction of Soft POS, the bank aims to catalyze growth and innovation for businesses, unlocking unprecedented levels of convenience and efficiency in their day-to-day operations.”

This advancement not only enhances convenience but also reduces procurement costs, streamlines merchant onboarding processes, and eliminates on-site installation and maintenance expenses. Additionally, the solution emphasizes “Go-Green” as a prominent feature, as it eliminates operational issues faced by merchants on paper roll supply for traditional POS systems, further aligning with sustainable business practices.

The introduction of this solution perfectly aligns with the bank’s dedication to delivering exceptional banking experiences and supporting the success of its customers.  The soft POS solution aims to offer innovative alternatives, enhancing payment procedures for merchants. Accessible through the Google Play Store, the Soft POS app empowers merchants to efficiently and securely process contactless payments upon activation.
