New features and tools for Android™ EFTPOS

EFT support blog tile 2Our upcoming Android™ software release introduces new features to make taking payment and managing reporting and reconciliation easier.

Developing on the Android™ platform enables the Verifone engineering team to create, scale and deliver software and apps more efficiently than was previously possible with legacy platforms. For the 10,000+ businesses in New Zealand already using Verifone Android™ payment terminals, this means faster delivery of improvements and new features.
