Poundland is upgrading its integrated EPoS payment solution with contactless technology.

The first two stores to go live with contactless payments are London-based. The retailer is trialling the Verifone QX110 terminal at Dalston and Hammersmith with plans to roll-out across its 250 stores in conjunction with Commidea.

"Commidea's solution was selected for its simple integration with Poundland's existing chip and PIN terminals and for its PCI compliance," says Mo Rahman, IT services manager at Poundland. "The contactless payment trial will enable us to offer alternative payment options and improved service levels, so that customers can purchase their goods quickly and conveniently."
