Kazang, a fintech company that focuses on prepaid value-added services (VAS) and payments solutions for informal merchants, has launched Kazang Pulse, the faster, tougher and smarter new version of its point of sale (POS) device. Kazang Pulse is an all-in-one solution that helps micro-merchants grow their business from the ground up.
Kazang Pulse is designed for South Africa’s small and informal traders in townships as well as rural and peri-urban areas. Whether your business operates from a spaza shop, a taxi rank, or a market, Kazang Pulse is made to match their hustle with speed, reliability, and ease of use.
Merchants can accept card payments, go cashless with supplier payments, and boost income with airtime, electricity, bill payments, vouchers and more, from one easy-to-use device. Kazang Pulse is a payment device made for everyday merchants growing their business:
- Faster transactions with 4G connectivity, dual SIMs, and instant wallet settlements
- Longer battery life – works long hours without needing to recharge, so you never lose a sale
- Multi-language support to make the device even more accessible and easier to use
- All-in-one functionality – sell prepaid services (electricity, airtime, data, bill payments, and gaming vouchers), accept card payments, pay suppliers and more
“More than 90,000 informal traders nationwide depend on our POS devices to accelerate their growth and profits,” says Michael Wright, Executive Head of Growth and International at Kazang. “Our latest edition of the Kazang device is designed to do everything in one strong, reliable machine.”
