The key feature of the new Android-based mPOS is that it is a single device with in-built finger print scanner, card reader, camera, printer and tablet, in a portable form factor. This would eliminate the inconvenience of carrying multiple devices by Fino representatives and thereby improve the efficiency of services to customers.
“In the next 12 months, we would deploy these devices at 10000 of our retail as well as corporate banking points, including branches, BPCL outlets, franchisee points and partner bank’s BC channel. We have already deployed around 2000 devices to enhance doorstep and neighbourhood banking services in urban as well as rural areas for the convenience of our customers,” said Ashish Ahuja, Executive Vice President and Head- Products, Fino Payments Bank.
With the mPOS devices, Fino executives will be able to provide all the banking services, be it account opening, deposit, withdrawal, money transfer, product sales (insurance, gold loan leads, BC lending services) and Aadhaar-enabled payment systems (AEPS), to customers right at their doorstep.
“In addition to having multiple functionalities, mPOS device is also interoperable. That means customers with debit cards issued by other banks can also do payments and withdrawal transactions at Fino’s banking points,” said Ahuja.
