Currently, the company has introduced POP Credicard and Mega POP Credicard machines. Plans are also on to launch a third product called Mini POP Credicard over the coming months.
POP Credicard is a wireless, chip and Wi-Fi machine designed to accept debit, credit, meal and food cards of major brands. Mega POP Credicard is similar to a traditional point-of-sale (PoS) terminal with a coil to print sales slip.
Mini POP Credicard will be a less costly option with feasibility for mobile connection.
Itaú Unibanco CEO Marcos Magalhães said: “Today, when we talk about Credicard, we are talking about a brand that changed to be increasingly connected with its clients’ needs and with the ability to quickly respond to them.
