Carrefour Indonesia adopts new POS tech

German tech company Wirecard has teamed up with an Indonesian bank to roll out new point-of-sale technology for Carrefour Indonesia.

Wirecard, with its Indonesian subsidiary PT Prima Vista Solusi and Bank Mega have joined forces to support Carrefour Indonesia with innovative Point-of-Sale (POS) solution with integrated payment capability. Customers in all Indonesian Carrefour retail stores will be able to pay contactless with their NFC cards, credit cards or debit cards.

The new system is chip and PIN ready, and enriched with value-added services such as installment payment and loyalty. Wirecard provides the complete technical infrastructure, which is integrated in the front-end store system at the retail stores, as well as the online payment processing over the Wirecard gateway, whereas Bank Mega is credit card acquirer.

Carrefour Indonesia has almost 100 hypermarkets in 13 Indonesian provinces under the ownership of PT Trans Retail Indonesia. It serves some 500,000 customers each day, offering groceries, fresh products, electronics, cosmetics, textile and many other consumer products. Siva Kumar, commercial and marketing director with PT Trans Retail Indonesia said the company feels committed to restoring its customers’ purchasing power in Indonesia.

“To make this possible, we offer them a full one-stop-shopping experience through our products and support them with best-in-breed and secure payment technology from Bank Mega and Wirecard.”

Bank Mega operates 344 branches nationwide in Indonesia, including issuing and acquiring credit card, debit card as well as its stored-value contactless payment card MegaCash. In addition, Bank Mega serves its customers through electronic banking, eCommerce and POS solutions at merchants.

Mirtha Rahman, group head card sales and marketing with PT Bank Mega Tbk said the company looked forward to working together on further future projects.

Wirecard AG is an independent provider of outsourcing and white label solutions for electronic payment transactions.
