Merchant Services
Merchant POS
Allied provides its partners with cutting-edge technology solutions for Card Acceptance through Hybrid EDC (Electronic Data Capture) terminals. Popularly known as POS (Point of Sale), this mode will involve the installation of an EDC machine and POS at payment acceptance points.
The GPRS/EDC/MPOS will be installed at the store location and will provide instantaneous card validation, charge slip generation, and finally electronic settlement at the end of day. Payment of these transactions will be made vide a credit to a pre-determined Bank Account on the next working day.
The Allied EDC terminals will help the merchant accept all cards — RUPAY, VISA, VISA ELECTRON, MASTERCARD and MAESTRO — issued in India. The enablement of Merchant POS service results in customer satisfaction and stickiness with the merchant. Also, accepting digital payment is safer for the merchant than accepting cash payment.
