Leveraging blockchain to facilitate payments

"We are honored and excited to partner with one of the largest payment leaders in the world.

"Ingenico is always on the lookout for innovations that will further improve transactional processes, and we see Pundi X’s use of blockchain technology in points of sales as truly innovative,” said Marcus Low, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific of Ingenico Group. “This partnership is as a great way to prepare for the future of payments and introduce cryptocurrency as a reliable payment option to our clients and customers worldwide.”

Seamless crypto payments for a growing blockchain community

Installing the XPOS module on an Ingenico POS terminal will enable merchants to process transactions in various cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, BNB, XEM, DGX, DAI, ENQ, KNC, KCS, FX, QTUM, NPXS, NPXSXEM and other cryptocurrencies that are part of Pundi X payment ecosystem.

When transacting with Ingenico’s APOS A8 solution, merchants with XPOS module and crypto token holders will be able to transact directly through XWallet mobile app or XPASS cards, Pundi X’s physical multi-currency crypto card that facilitates crypto payments. The POS device will automatically provide conversion rates between fiat and crypto currencies at the retail outlets, enabling a seamless and speedy crypto transaction experience.

Pundi X’s XPOS software solution is available for deployment on all Ingenico APOS A8 devices in all major markets all around the world.
