- Merchant perspective: Paymit: No additional device needed. The process can vary depending on the hired product by the merchant (Easy, Classic or Professional). For example, in the classic one: Merchant enters amount in the mobile POS app and create QR code for this individual payment by pushing a button. Merchant shows the customer the QR code: customer scans the code with his Paymit app and confirms the purchase. Both customer and merchant receive a digital receipt within seconds. (Update to follow – Further information being obtained)
- Security: Paymit: The app can only be opened by entering user’s PIN or via Touch ID, and the various limits and registration process use strict security standards to prevent unauthorized use. The systems used to make the payments are the same systems used for all bank transfers and credit card payments in Switzerland. So compliance with the security standards is guaranteed.
