REMA 1000 Revolutionizes Payment Infrastructure with Market Pay 

REMA 1000, one of Norway’s largest discount grocery chains, has transformed its payment ecosystem by partnering with Market Pay and adopting nexo standards. With over 800 stores in the Nordic region and two million daily transactions, the retailer sought to modernize its payment infrastructure to enhance scalability, reduce costs, and improve customer experience. 

The existing payment system faced critical challenges, including scalability issues, high operational costs, and limited support for modern payment methods. To address these pain points, Market Pay implemented a nexo-compliant end-to-end payment platform, featuring PAX Android A35 terminals. These terminals support various payment methods, including Norway’s BankAxept and international cards like Visa, Mastercard, and Amex. The system also integrates loyalty programs directly into payment processes, enhancing customer engagement. 

Adopting nexo standards provided global interoperability, simplified certification, and accelerated the rollout of advanced payment technologies such as contactless payments and digital wallets. The uniform framework reduced fragmentation, enabling real-time data analytics and centralized terminal management across all locations. Robust security protocols ensured compliance with industry standards, safeguarding against fraud and future-proofing the infrastructure. 

The solution was deployed across all REMA 1000 stores in Norway by mid-2024, with approximately 2,500 terminals installed. The system processes around 200 million transactions annually, significantly improving transaction speeds and reducing costs through a single, standardized payment ecosystem. Operational efficiency has been enhanced by streamlining payment processes, consolidating systems, and enabling seamless integration with existing retail platforms. 

Market Pay’s platform also supports real-time insights into transaction data, empowering REMA 1000 to make informed decisions for store operations and customer service. The centralized system eliminates the need for multiple providers, reducing complexity and offering scalability to support future growth. 

This collaboration highlights how advanced payment technologies and standardized protocols can transform retail operations. With Market Pay’s innovative approach and the flexibility of nexo standards, REMA 1000 has established a scalable, secure, and customer-centric payment system. This ensures a seamless shopping experience while driving operational efficiency and supporting future expansion. 

Rabobank Brings Seamless Contactless Payment to Merchants with Market Pay’s dejamobile’s Award-Winning SoftPOS Solution 

Rabobank, one of the largest banks in the Netherlands and a comprehensive financial services provider, has enhanced its offerings by enabling merchants to accept contactless payments on their Android devices and iPhones. In partnership with Dejamobile (part of Market Pay group), Rabobank integrated, MPE2024 award-winning SoftPOS solution, into its Rabo SmartPin app. This innovation earned the MPE2024 Award for its excellence in payment technology and its transformative impact on merchant services. 

The Rabo SmartPin app, available for Android and iOS, allows merchants to accept contactless payments directly on their smartphones without the need for additional hardware. Designed to meet the needs of SMEs and mobile merchants, this feature extends Rabobank’s acquiring services by providing a versatile and highly portable payment acceptance solution. 

Merchants can easily access the service by downloading the Rabo SmartPin app and activating the Tap to Pay feature via Rabobank’s merchant dashboard. With this functionality, merchants can turn their smartphones into full-fledged payment terminals capable of accepting contactless card payments and NFC mobile wallets. By leveraging the SoftPOS solution, Rabobank eliminates the need for traditional mPOS devices, offering merchants a more streamlined, cost-effective option. 

The Rabo SmartPin app is more than just a payment solution—it is a comprehensive tool for business management. Merchants can create product catalogs, track inventory, link the app to multiple users, and even register cash payments. With these features, the app doubles as a complete cash register solution, simplifying operations for small businesses and mobile merchants. 

This case exemplifies how the SoftPOS technology transforms the payment experience for merchants. For small business owners who require mobility, traditional POS systems and even mPOS devices can be cumbersome and expensive. Our SoftPOS solution, integrated into smartphones that merchants already own, addresses these challenges while providing advanced functionality. 

Rabobank’s partnership with us reflects its commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to empower businesses, offering a seamless, mobile-first payment experience. This initiative sets a new standard for the future of contactless payment acceptance in the financial and retail industries. 

La Poste Brings Mobile Sales and Contactless Payment Convenience to Postmen/Women 

La Poste (the French Post Office) has revolutionized mobile sales and payment processes by enabling its postmen and women to accept contactless payments using their professional smartphones, without requiring any additional hardware. This innovative approach aims to increase the sales of services and products while providing unparalleled convenience for customers. 

With thousands of postmen and women visiting clients daily, La Poste recognised an opportunity to leverage its existing business application, Facteo, installed on professional smartphones. By enriching Facteo with a contactless payment acceptance feature, La Poste is streamlining operations and creating a seamless sales and payment experience for its customers. 

The development of this payment application was led by La Banque Postale and based on the award-winning SoftPOS solution​ Market Pay​, which recently earned the prestigious MPE2024 Award for its groundbreaking innovation in payment technology. This project was executed in partnership with Monext, a prominent French payment service provider (PSP). The solution transforms professional smartphones into secure contactless payment terminals through the integration of the SoftPOS technology. Once the application is installed, postmen and women can accept payments directly on their smartphones. 

To ensure the solution's feasibility, a “Proof of Concept” was conducted with 3,000 postmen and women. Following the success of this trial, the solution is being progressively rolled out to more than 62,000 postmen and women across La Poste Groupe. 

Now, customers can conveniently pay for services such as stamps or customs duties for parcels directly to the postman or woman using contactless cards or NFC-enabled mobile wallets. This
