What Are The Requirements For Getting A POS Machine? by Ogetogeo(m): 10:07pm On Oct 05, 2014
Good evening house, I would like to know the criteria or requirements for getting a POS machine from our financial institutions.

I am aware that different banks have different criterion, so I would like to know if possible the different requirements for each bank, so as to make a firm decision on which to go with. I think some other people on the forum might also be interested to know being that the economy is moving cashless and soon most businesses would have need for a POS as a means of payment for flexibility sake.

So, I plead with those in the know and insiders to tell us what to expect and how it works with their banks and all.


Hoping to get firm feedbacks

Shalom!

If you already have an account with a bank, either savings, current or corporate. Just let your account officer know that you need a POS machine, for example in Skye Bank, all you need to do is to fill an application form and within a week, your machine will be delivered to your shop/retail outlet. They also offer routine after installation maintenance services (all @ no cost to the merchant). All you have to do is to make sure that your customers continue to use the terminal. Skye Bank is there is expand your world.

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

What you need is a Current Account (Individual, Business or Corporate).

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).

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.
Uxie can be linked to any bank account (savings or current).

We have just launched this new product and would like to have you as one of our pilot users hence all transaction costs will be waived for your first 25 transactions.

If you are interested in being a pilot user, please contact us on uxie@panthelope.com

Thanks

A savings account is okay with Skye Bank. A new savings account can apply for it as long as all the requirements to open a savings account are in place.

Also note that, effective November 1st, 2014 the previous 1.25% with a CAP of N2,000 that is charged for POS usage will be reduced to 0.75% with a CAP of N1,200, also COT charges will be removed from all POS related transactions.

When I visited Fidelity Bank here in Agbani last week, they told me my business will qualify for a P.O.S when it generates a minimum of N1million per month. Imagine that! Lol.

I really need detailed information on this P.O.S issue. Nigerian banks, where are you? Come and give us answers.

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.
