What if your phone could do more than calls and chats? What if you could accept payments, right now, with just the phone in your hand?

That would mean never missing a sale, it would mean more freedom for your business and more convenience for your customers.

Here’s the bigger picture, success in any business starts with proper financial management, and that means reliable business banking. Today, customers want to have options, and a lot of them want different payment options. It might be time for your business to explore other ways to accept payments, using nothing more than your phone.

With Kuda Business softPOS, your phone can now become your POS terminal.

Before exploring these opportunities, ensure you have completed your business registration to operate legally.
 

What is SoftPOS?

It’s a feature on the Kuda Business app that lets you accept card payments directly on your smartphone, no extra hardware needed.
Here are four simple reasons it’s a smart move for your business in 2025:

1. It reduces wait time.

Your customers are more likely to leave when they have to wait for a long time to make or confirm payments. So, if you run a typical in-store business or a restaurant, using a softPOS works because it’s fast and convenient to use, which means shorter wait times and improved customer satisfaction as they can complete their purchase more quickly.

 

2. Make sales from anywhere

Running a business often means being on the move, and you shouldn’t have to be tied to one location to keep earning. With softPOS, you or your sales team can accept payments using just a smartphone.You’ll get an instant payment confirmation on your Kuda Business app, so you never have to miss a sale. For entrepreneurs running a POS business, this mobility is especially helpful – it enables you to expand your reach and serve more customers without investing in multiple physical terminals.

 

3. It offers more payment options.

Today’s customers expect choices when it comes to payments. With softPOS, you can accept different payment methods: debit cards, USSD payments, and even the Pay With Kuda option for customers who already bank with Kuda.
When you combine multiple payment options with reliable business banking tools in one app, you’re setting your business up for long-term growth.

 

4. It’ll save you money.

Growing a business comes with expenses, and it’s important to cut costs where possible, without compromising service. Physical POS terminals can be expensive to acquire and maintain, especially if you want them in multiple locations.

SoftPOS eliminates those costs. Your phone becomes a POS terminal at no extra charge, allowing you to accept payments in multiple locations at zero hardware cost. That’s money you can redirect into marketing, staff training, or even securing a business loan to scale operations further.

Conclusion
SoftPOS is a simple tool for real business problems. It’s faster for your customers, more flexible for you, and it saves you money.
