KUALA LUMPUR: In another first-to-market achievement, Hong Leong Bank Bhd (Hong Leong Bank) on Monday introduced a new generation of integrated and innovative all-in-one smart point-of-sales (POS) terminal for merchants that is able to integrate and accept all cards and e-payment transactions in a single device for the first time in Malaysia.
The sleek and compact smart POS terminal which resembles a smart mobile phone is digital touch screen enabled, wireless and portable using Wi-Fi or mobile data networks (4G), allowing for fast transaction response. This makes it one of the most effective, seamless and easy payment solution for merchants and consumers to use, pay and manage.
Domenic Fuda, group managing director and chief executive officer of HLB said cashless payments have steadily increased year-onyear in Malaysia and the bank is seeing more consumers, especially the younger generation, adopting e-payments.
“However, there is still a gap in meeting consumers’ demand for e-payments in the market.

With this innovative all-in-one smart POS payment solution, multiple payment machines are a thing of the past.
