Based on tapXphone, RaiPOS is a convenient, secure and leading-edge solution from RPC. Thanks to the mobile application, entrepreneurs can accept payments for their business without additional equipment. To do this, they just need to have a smartphone and be a bank client. Note that payments via smartphone are secure, which is evidenced by certificates of Visa and Mastercard international payment systems.
This number of transactions is an excellent result which demonstrates the rapid development of SoftPOS services in Europe and RaiPOS in particular. The brisk growth of technology is also influenced by the popularity of contactless payments, thanks to which customers can pay with any NFC-enabled gadget, be it a smartphone, watch, bands and rings.

The rapid growth in the number of transactions in 2023 is the result of mutually beneficial cooperation, adaptation of the application to the requirements of each country and prompt introduction of new functionality. All this makes accepting payments via smartphone attractive to the market. We hope that new records for transaction volumes in 2024 will not be long in coming.
Note that in October 2023, we reported that more than 1 million transactions were made via RaiPOS. While at the end of December the service was launched in yet another country – Albania.
