BPC Launches Essential Guide to Help Banks Power Merchant Networks with SoftPOS

New white paper provides roadmap for financial institutions to extend payment acceptance and drive financial inclusion

BPC, a global leader in payments technology, has published a comprehensive guide to help banks and financial institutions deploy SoftPOS technology to expand merchant acceptance and reach underserved communities.

The guide, Your Essential Guide to Powering Your Merchant Network with SoftPOS, addresses the growing demand for scalable, cost-effective payment acceptance solutions. SoftPOS technology transforms standard smartphones and tablets into payment terminals, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware and lowering barriers to entry for merchants of all sizes.

For banks, SoftPOS represents an opportunity to extend reach into markets where traditional POS infrastructure is impractical or uneconomic. For merchants and consumers, it simplifies acceptance through QR codes and contactless payments, making paying and getting paid faster and more accessible.

Imran Vilcassim, Global Chief Commercial Officer, Digital Banking at BPC, said: "SoftPOS is rapidly becoming the most scalable way to extend payment acceptance and push financial inclusion. We prepared this guide to educate and support financial institutions on how best to introduce the technology and understand the added benefits.”

"For banks, it expands their reach to underserved communities and unlocks new service-led revenue. For merchants and consumers, it simplifies acceptance and makes transactions faster and more accessible. Our SmartVista SoftPOS/mPOS solution goes beyond payments, turning acceptance into a daily business tool with value-added services. It equips banks to deepen merchant relationships and stay future-ready for new payment methods and regulatory change."

The guide covers key considerations for SoftPOS deployment, integration pathways, security and compliance requirements, and strategies for maximising merchant engagement and retention.
