FlexKom International Announces NEW POS Terminal for the Global Launch.


FlexKom Announces NEW POS Terminal
The latest news is that for the European, UK & US launch the old style POS terminals will be replaced by a much newer looking ipad sized touch screen called a FlexPad. The FlexPad can be spun around to face either the customer or the  retailer. 


NEW - FlexApp
For customers who don't own a smart

phone there will be a plastic FlexKom 
card (see right).
For smart phone users there will be an 
App, called FlexApp. This will make it a 
lot easier and faster for retailers to 
introduce FlexKom customers. 
The FlexApp will show all the FlexKom 
outlets in your local area (see right), and 
will also show your balance and recent 
transactions (see far right).

In addition to all of this there's more!
FlexKom have announced the soon to 
arrive FlexCall system. 

See more details below... 

FlexCall - Low Cost or Free International Calls from your Mobile
With FlexCall there is a VoIP option which is similar to other apps out there, where you can make free calls, but with that option you do need internet access.
In addition to the VoIP option there is another option called "Callthrough" which allows customers with the Flex app to get access to low cost international calls without needing internet connection. 


If you gain a minimum of 10 FlexMoney each month (from shopping at FlexKom outlets - from Oct/Nov 2013 onwards) then your mobile phone rates will be reduced further.

If you refer 10 customers to the FlexCall system then all of your international calls will be free forever.
This is a very clever idea. It will make it even easier for the retailers and small businesses to distribute the FlexApp. Who wouldn't like to have totally free international calls from their mobile?
The Most Secure Payment System
The technology that FlexKom have in place is now protected by a 20 year patent, and for good reason. The FlexKom payment system is more secure than any banking system in the world. This is because the data is sent via two different routes; via the FlexKom POS device AND via the customer's mobile phone. 
This is how it works...
The shopkeeper will enter the amount and then the FlexKom system will generate a QR (Quick Response) code or bar code (see Left). This QR code is unique for each transaction. When the customer hovers their smart phone over the QR code their FlexApp will read the code and will then also send data to the FlexKom database - clever?...just a little!

In comparison to this, when paying by credit card your data is simply sent with your PIN via a POS device to the bank's database. That process is far less secure. 

NOW that is something to be a part of, Don't you agree...???
