What you need:

1. An Account - Before any bank deploy a POS terminal to your business outlet, you need to maintain an account with them.

2. POS Document and Agreement - You need to collect POS document from your account officer or the nearest branch of the bank.

3. POS Charges - POS terminals and support are free but you pay a fee per transaction. (Typically, 1.25% with a cap or NGN2,000).

Regards

fee differ. depending on the merchant category. churches, schools, wholesale , saloon etc.. have different charge rate per transaction

you must operate a current account. then, apply to your bank to use a pos terminal and you are good to go. everything is free. just that you will have to negotiate a transaction charge on the terminal(1.75% OR 0.2%, depending on?).

1. Maintain account with the bank. ( I always advice savings account , cos of excess COT Charge)
2. Approach the Bank Branch (branch where the account is domiciled is recommended)
3. complete the POS request form and sign off the Service level Agreement with the bank.
4. Deployment and support is free of charge, but there is charge on transaction based on the nature of your business. whole sale 0.2%, hotels 1.25%, general merchants 0.75 %.
5. @ FirstBank, we deploy within 7 days both outside Lagos and our support is 24/7.
for further inquiries, inbox me. at Firstbank, we put U first.

For first bank, walk in to any branch. Ask for the retail dept .any relationship manager or marketing associate will do the work. Make sure you have any account the pos will be linked with. Sign agreement form week later you go and get it....that's all.. Note : 0.75 % on transactions free for filling stations. You can also use your pos as agency banking in your area.
Please can u share more light about agency banking you said.

I've been looking for someone to put me through on the MCASH stuff, I heard its an instant value Pos.

Please how do I get that ?

Sorry for the late reply, was at work. Mcash is better than POS in that u get paid using a ussd code, just by dialing *402*your unique code*Amount #.

No need of data, instant and u can use any phone, even China phone or torch light phone. U get instant credit.

That also means the person that wants to pay me must also have his/her own unique code which I think can only be gotten through bank.

Thanks Sir, I appreciate.

You need to be mindful of what your POS is used for because you'll be held responsible if a stolen debit card is used on it. Imagine if the card was taking at gun point, that is armed robbery which attracts death penalty!

For businesses with POS it is a good practice to have CCTV installed in their business premises.
Thanks for your advise
But I'm wondering, will I also be "held responsible" if a customer pays me for goods sold/services rendered with stolen cash?
Or how am I supposed to know a debit card is stolen if the cardholder supplies the correct pin when making payment with my POS terminal?

You're likely to be questioned by the law enforcement officers. This is why it is a good practice to have a CCTV installed in your business premises. With this, you'll have the evidence that an exchange (of goods and services) took place and you have the picture of the customer. In a situation the business cannot afford to install a CCTV it would be good to take the alternative measures to protect yourself, such as taking electronic pictures of the customers like commercial banks do when large sums of money are withdrawn. This additional measures may look burdensome but when you think of "police wahala" in situations like this, then no measures taken would be too much. My take.

When I visited my bank, UBA@Acme road, Lagos, recently, I was told that that my business must be turning over one million naira(1,000,000) every month. I just ran away. Then I went to first bank on the same road, they told me I must guarantee or be sure that at least 20 customers will use it in a day. Because that is the condition they (marketers)can use to convince the management for approval. But allocation is free sha! And for every transaction, there will be a charge. (I have forgotten that) may be 0.75 or 0.25 sha!

I believe Pos are assigned to businesses alone and not individuals maybe if your savings is for your business but ask your account officer

They aren't for business alone. Make sure ur account must be current

Sure you need run a current account . Best is to apply as an agent,... thats agent banking from any bank that handles that. First bank will be better just that they can delay atimes

Hi, may I introduce to you "Uxie" a brand product from our start-up company.

Uxie is a simple light-weight mobile application that runs on your smart phone. It is designed to overcome the flaws of the clumsy POS devices issued by our banks such as No network, incomplete transactions, battery life, portability and bank account restrictions etc.
