A customers\u2019 car breaks down on the highway. He calls for your service. The customer did not anticipate his car to stall, thus did not have enough cash to pay you once you\u2019ve fixed his car. It would be nice if you had a way to accept the payment using a credit or a debit card instead, right there by the road side?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-564 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fuss-Free-Payments-with-Fasspay-New-Straits-Times_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"auto\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Johan Zep Yusof, Fasspay\u2019s head of client engagement<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The idea to allow payment via cards on-the-go is not new. However, many mobile payment terminals available today are either cabled or expensive. With this in mind, the team at Fass Payment Solutions Sdn Bhd offers Fasspay mPOS (mobile point-of-sale) dongle along with Fasspay Mobile Application to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) adopt mobile e-commerce easily and at a competitive cost.<\/p>\n<p>A a subsidiary of Soft Space Sdn Bhd, Fasspay is a Malaysian company specializing in mobile payment services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started as a trading company three years ago, bringing in mobile payment system terminals and dongles from Europe. Today, we\u2019ve innovated our hardware offerings to suit the needs of local businesses. In the early stage, we were only supplying to large corporations and financial institutions. Together with Soft Space, we are now offering the mPOS dongle to help local entrepreneurs who need to conduct card transactions to accept payments on-the-go,\u201d says Fasspay\u2019s head of client engagement Johan Zep Yusof.<\/p>\n<p>Using the Fasspay Mobile app, the data from the audio file is extracted, and then encrypted before being sent using 3G or Wi-Fi connection to the card provider or bank\u2019s payment transaction system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mPOS dongle works just like regular credit card terminals, but it is more secure. Data is being transmitted using the 3.5mm jack, a port that is common to many smartphones and tablets today. Most entrepreneurs today own an Android or iOS device, so now you can add the reader dongle and download its accompanying app to start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fasspay mPOS dongle does not generate paper receipts. So far, reception for Fasspay\u2019s mPOS system has been encouraging. \u201cMany SMEs that we\u2019ve approached were ready to sign up as soon as we\u2019ve finished demonstrating. The sign-up process is simple and can be initiated by filling up a form on our website.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company, in collaboration with SME Corp. Malaysia, offers its mPOS solutions to local businesses. \u201cWe are working with SME Corp Malaysia via \u2018Enabling ePayment for SMEs and Microenterprises\u2019 programme. Through this programme, Fasspay\u2019s dongle is available for lease by SMEs for RM30 per month. With that price, we also provide services such as training and supporting through help desk. Businesses just need to commit to a one-year subscription,\u201d said Johan.<\/p>\n<p>The involvement with SME Corp Malaysia is also a way for Fasspay to reach out to more SMEs. \u201cWe are meeting with more SMEs to let them know about out mPOS solutions. With the programme by SME Corp Malaysia, we\u2019re ramping up the awareness and hope that by the end of this year, we would be able to roll out about 2,000 of our mPOS solutions to Malaysian businesses,\u201d said Johan.<\/p>\n<p>The original post was published in the New Straits Times<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-564 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fuss-Free-Payments-with-Fasspay-New-Straits-Times_02_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team at Fass Payment Solutions Sdn Bhd offers Fasspay mPOS (mobile point-of-sale) dongle along with Fasspay Mobile Application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1229"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1929,"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229\/revisions\/1929"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/softspace.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
