Friday 5 August 2016 10:24 CET | News

Wirecard, a global payment service provider, has partnered with O2 Czech Republic to provide mobile Point-of-Sale solutions to all retailers in the Czech Republic.

The partnership will enable O2 to offer their merchants a product named eKasa which is a fully online, tablet based fiscal till system together with credit card payment transaction services. With this, every retailer is in the position to comply with the new government standards.

Within this cooperation, Wirecard will act as the acquirer that processes all payment transactions, as well as the technical service provider which enables O2 to use Wirecard’s mPOS Software Developing Kit (SDK). Subsequently, O2 will offer its customers the solution eKasa that includes a card reader which provides merchants with secure chip and PIN mobile card acceptance. This practical alternative to fixed till systems is suitable for merchants, companies and self-employed people from all industries who are now affected by this new government directive.

In 2016, a new till system law has been implemented in the Czech Republic requiring retailers to conclude payment transactions online. Payment details are then forwarded to the national tax office where they are reviewed in order to avoid tax fraud.
