Peach Payments, a leading South African fintech company, has launched Digit Pro, an advanced Point of Sale (POS) solution built specifically for enterprise businesses that demand more than just basic card acceptance.

This powerful and portable POS terminal enables merchants to accept a wide variety of payment methods, including cards, Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL), vouchers, and digital wallets, all while providing a fully customizable checkout experience.

Speaking on the launch of the PoS terminal, Rahul Jain, CEO of Peach Payments said,

“While legacy POS terminals offer competitive pricing, they are limited to card payments. Transactions processed via Digit Pro are displayed alongside all the merchant’s other transactions on the Peach Payments dashboard, irrespective of payment method—even across BNPL options. To our knowledge, the Digit Pro is the first POS device to do so in South Africa.”

Digit Pro represents a significant shift in POS capabilities, enabling businesses to optimize inventory, launch loyalty programs, and scale operations from a single device. Peach Payments’ launch of Digit Pro aligns with a broader trend of fintech companies expanding into point-of-sale (POS) solutions to capture the growing demand for seamless, integrated payment systems. Fintechs globally, and particularly in Africa, are leveraging POS terminals to bridge online and offline commerce, offering merchants unified platforms for transaction management.

In South Africa, competitors like Yoco and Paystack (owned by Stripe) have also introduced POS devices, with Yoco reporting over 200,000 merchants using its solutions by 2024 and Paystack rolling out terminals in Nigeria and Kenya. This trend is driven by the need for versatile payment options cards, mobile money, digital wallets, and BNPLcatering to diverse consumer preferences.

However, Peach Payments’ Digit Pro stands out with its support for a wide range of payment methods and offline transaction capabilities, positioning it to compete in this crowded but rapidly growing market. The move reflects the fintechs’ push to empower mid-size and enterprise merchants with tools that streamline operations and enhance customer experiences.

Founded in Cape Town in 2012, Peach Payments has consistently delivered seamless digital payment solutions across the continent. By 2014, the company had gained traction through partnerships with key players like SweepSouth, providing frictionless online payment experiences for domestic services in South Africa.

Following exceptional growth, the company raised US$31 million in funding and began expanding its footprint through acquisitions and regional launches. In 2022, Peach Payments underwent a strategic rebrand to reflect its evolution from a local fintech startup into a pan-African payments leader.

Last year, the fintech was included in the Top 10 Fintech Startups in South Africa in recognition of its innovation, strong merchant relationships, and impact on the digital payment ecosystem. Also in the same year, it was recognized as one of the 100 Most Innovative Fintech Startups of 2024 by CB Insights, the leader in technology market intelligence.

Fast forward to April 2025, Peach Payments acquired West-African payment platform PayDunya. In the process, it enters mainland Francophone Africa for the first time, following its expansion to Eswatini (2024), Mauritius (2021) and Kenya (2018).

Now active in over 10 regions and with over 150+ people reached, Peach Payments continues to empower African businesses to accept, manage, and disburse payments effortlessly, through innovative, secure, and accessible digital tools.

With the launch of Digit Pro, the fintech strengthens its position at the forefront of Africa’s digital commerce revolution, redefining the point-of-sale experience for enterprise merchants across the continent.
