Point of Sales (POS) systems are no longer restricted to a single location. Unlike the traditional transactional methods at a retail store, the salesperson can now move around the space, engage with customers, and close sales immediately. Retailers can enable “everywhere sales” through mobile and SoftPOS transactions. This technology allows an individual to accept contactless payments (via card or near-field communication technology), with only a smartphone.
Another payment trend that has gained popularity over time is Bank as a Service, or BaaS category. It enables brands to function as banks. It offer core financial services to customers by integrating with banks via APIs.
Driven by these trends, the value of the global merchant POS services market will be reach $131 billion by 2028. The increasing demand for mobile-based payments around the world is driving this market growth.
