Everything you need for payment collection

This depends on where you want to use your POS terminal. A mobile card terminal is ideal for the gastronomy sector (restaurants or bars), markets or delivery services – wherever you need to collect payments flexibly. It works via WLAN or mobile phone.

A stationary card terminal is firmly connected to the checkout with cables. It is suitable for shops with a fixed point of sale. PostFinance offers you a suitable model for every sales situation.

A good card terminal should support all the common Swiss payment methods: credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), debit cards, TWINT, mobile wallets and the PostFinance Card. All our POS terminals meet the industry ep2 standard. This means you can offer your customers a smooth and secure payment at the POS.

You make a one-off investment with the purchase of a POS payment terminal that suits your on-site situation. The ongoing costs cover the operation and maintenance of the terminals and services. To optimize ongoing costs, you can choose from the following options:

• No fixed costs: this may be useful for small businesses. You have slightly higher transaction fees, but you only pay when you collect payments (perfect for up to around 50 payments per month, annual sales of up to CHF 100,000 or seasonal use)
• Monthly fees per terminal: you pay a monthly fixed price per POS terminal while benefiting from lower transaction costs.

Tip: with our POS bundle, you benefit from discounts on POS terminal purchases and on your business account fees.

You should never compromise on security. Our POS terminals are PCI DSS and ep2 certified. This is the standard in Switzerland and worldwide. These certifications guarantee that card data is encrypted and processed securely.

Forget about software updates and negotiations with technical providers and simply focus on your core business: PostFinance’s Checkout solutions guarantee maintenance and security, protecting your business and your customers’ data.

A card terminal should be easy to operate and ready for use quickly. Our devices can be installed and operated without any technical expertise. We are there to provide support at all times if you have any problems. You can access your payments and settings around the clock in the Checkout portal.

There are various ways to integrate it into your checkout system to make your processes even more efficient.
