IBA Group and RPC Launch tapXphone in Albania
IBA Group continues to launch tapXphone in new regions. Now, the service for accepting payments via smartphone has become available to entrepreneurs in Albania. Raiffeisen Bank has introduced its customers to RaiPOS, a mobile application that turns a smartphone into a full-fledged banking terminal. IBA Group is implementing the project in partnership with RPC.
The introduction of RaiPOS is a step forward in the market of secure and efficient payments for micro, small, and medium businesses in Albania. Based on tapXphone, RaiPOS enables bank clients to accept payments using smartphones with the mobile application. RaiPOS is easy to set up and activate. The tool is essential for small businesses, including retail stores, delivery services, cafes, restaurants, and street vendors.
The launch of RaiPOS is an important milestone in our journey towards the digitalization of payments in Albania. This product demonstrates our commitment to innovation and improvement of the quality of service for our customers. We are happy to contribute to a more modern future of payments in Albania and this is an important step on this path.
The RaiPOS service combines security and efficiency, convenience, and simplicity, as well as innovation and digitalization.
The launch of the service opens the way to cashless payments for small entrepreneurs in Albania. They can now offer their customers a simple, convenient, and secure way to pay for goods and services. I am confident that RaiPOS is a new tool that will contribute to the development of modern and technological payments in the country.
Notably, the RaiPOS service is already operational in Slovakia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine, Kosovo, Romania, and Croatia.
