How to Make Money through PoS Business
Making money through PoS is simple and straightforward.
But, let us discuss how to request for the PoS first
You can request for PoS terminal in two ways namely:
- Bank
- Merchant
Let's look at the procedure to follow if you're requesting it through bank
- The first thing to know is that you have to have an account with that particular bank before you can request for their PoS.
- If you already have an account with the bank, you'll be given a PoS application form to fill
- After submitting the form, your bank will assess your creditworthiness.
- If you are creditworthy, they will link your bank account with the PoS.
- You will then be asked to deposit at least #50,000 in the account that will be used to be running the transactions daily.
- Then, you will be given a quick teller application which will serve as initial means of using the awaiting POS
Note: bank wants to see how well you are transacting through the mobile application before they can give you the PoS machine as it may be difficult to get the PoS if you are not performing well with the quick teller application
If your transaction is going well, bank will then come to your business centre to ascertain whether you truly have a shop or not.
Note 2: your shop must be at least 100meters from any other shop that has the same PoS machine of the same bank.
After a few weeks of application, you will be contacted that your PoS is ready for collection.
Procedure for collection of PoS through Merchant
- Contact any PoS merchant you know. If you do not know any, you can read more list of PoS merchant we have in Nigeria.
- You will be asked to complete the PoS application form
- After successful filling of the application, you will pay a sum of #25,000 depending on the merchant. Some may ask you to pay below or above that amount.
- After having paid, they will come to your business centre to verify your location.
- If your application is successful, you will be contacted to come for the collection.
Note1: you have to make transactions of at least #100,000 everyday through merchant PoS to make your account stay active all the time.
Failure to do so can make your account to be blocked after several warnings from the merchant.
Note2: There is no transaction limit for that of bank
Note3: I will advise you to look at the charges of different banks and also those of the merchants before requesting for their forms because they charge different charges.
How to Make Money through This
After you have been given the PoS machine either through bank or merchant, showcase your banner at your business location, this will tell people about your product.
