Salary benchmarks
Our take
Pomelo Pay is helping businesses process payments using simpler, mobile-first, affordable tools. Unlike payment solutions like Square and Dojo, which require pricey card readers and offer real-time payments only at a premium, Pomelo Pay is developing truly instant payment methods that require no additional equipment. These include QR codes, links, and soon a feature allowing one’s smartphone to act as the card reader.
With this diverse and modern set of digital offerings, Pomelo Pay is demonstrating itself to be highly capable of keeping up with rapid advancements in the FinTech space. It will need to be - the sector is moving at lightning pace, fuelled by liberal VC investment and the need to get ahead in the new FinTech markets being opened up worldwide by sweeping digital transformation.
In this regard, Pomelo Pay is already a step ahead. It’s operating in various regions across the European and Asian markets - the latter of which is a particularly smart play. Thanks to heavy digitisation and e-commerce, along with a general ‘internet friendliness’, real-time digital payments have been picking up substantially in this part of the world.
