POS and card terminal providers

Point-of-sale providers supply the terminals, card readers and software merchants use to take payments in person — chip and PIN, contactless cards and mobile wallets — often combined with inventory, staff and sales reporting. Many now offer SoftPOS, which turns an ordinary phone into a card reader.
