As merchants seek better ways to grow their business and improve efficiency, consumers are for their part eager to try new tools that enhance their shopping experience. In line with this thought, our 'MOOV by SBM' is a payment solution that is a mobile Point Of Sale (mPOS) device attached to a smart device (smartphone/tablet) which uses state-of-the-art technology to provide card payments.
MOOV solution represents an exciting opportunity to streamline payments, redefines the way merchants operate and enhances cardholders’ experience. It is the first EMV 'CHIP & PIN & Magstripe'-certified mPOS solution in Mauritius that turns your smart device into a POS device. This means customers can pay with their cards conveniently, securely and instantly anytime, anywhere.
This cost-effective solution allows small businesses to accept cards where they had to previously rely on cash or payment collections.
