The myPOS system has been designed to help democratise retail, by removing the barriers to retailers accepting card payments.

Combining a mobile point of sale (POS) terminal with a [free](https://www.financedigest.com/sulfate-free-shampoo-market-forecast-and-trends-analysis-research-report-2021-to-2031.html) online account and prepaid business card, myPOS enables businesses and sole traders to accept card payments as readily as cash. As a result, the solution addresses the cash flow concerns that cause many SMEs to choose not to accept card payments – which traditionally take days to appear in their accounts. Uniquely, the myPOS solution is not built on the banking system, but instead stores payments in a free myPOS e-money account, enabling retailers to either [spend received funds immediately via their myPOS Visa card](https://www.financedigest.com/card-spending-in-uk-falls-below-pre-covid-average-ons.html "Card spending in UK falls below pre-COVID average – ONS"), or to make an online transfer to another account if they choose. The sleek, attractive all-in-one solution means users do not need to hold or input payment information into a separate unit, such as a mobile phone. There are also no monthly payments or subscription fees making myPOS the perfect solution for seasonal businesses, or sole traders working in the gig economy. myPOS is a 100% mobile solution with a built-in internet connection and a data sim card provided free of charge with the unit. Customers will be able to choose from four different solutions: myPOS Mini Ice, myPOS Combo, myPOS Mini and myPOS Smart.
