Oando is to introduce cashless terminal systems at its service station network in partnership with payment terminal service provider EasyFuel limited. The move follows a successful pre-launch system test for the terminals at selected Oando outlets.
EasyFuel’s owner and Managing Director, Tayo Olajide, explained the test to reporters. “The test involved simultaneous transactions on the same terminal, using various products, with customers getting the required SMS payment alerts and Internet payment notifications from their various banks. All our products – Sprint, Speedpass and e-Go cards as well as bank-issued ATM debit and credit cards, were tested on the terminals and the test was successful,” he said. “All the service stations that are live on our network were involved in the process and the feedback has been fantastic. The Point of Sales (PoS) terminals installed at the service stations are working perfectly as expected and coordinating well with our back-end platform.”
The initiative, noted Olajide, will reduce the need for cash when buying petroleum products at fuel service stations and improve the customer experience.
