GUWAHATI: HDFC Bank, India’s leading merchant acquiring bank, has introduced the all-in-one POS, a payment device equipped with the Soundbox feature for MSMEs. The device will enhance business operations for merchants across the country.
The all-in-one POS device is a compact payment device that integrates point-of-sale (PoS), QR code scanner, and Soundbox, de-cluttering the cashier space.
It simplifies payment acceptance by supporting every form of payment, including card dip, tap & pay, and QR scan, all with one compact device.

It seamlessly connects with the Bank’s SmartHub Vyapar merchant app, providing merchants with a single view of all transactions for easy reconciliation with their bank account statements.
This device represents a significant leap forward in digital payments, catering to the evolving needs of merchants in an increasingly cashless economy.
