Ingenico, a global leader in payment acceptance solutions, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. , a trusted global technology leader, and Talus, a fintech provider of integrated payments technology, have partnered to bring a modern mobile business operating solution to the North American marketplace. With Ingenico SoftPOS tap-to-pay capabilities, the Talus mobile app transforms NFC-compatible Samsung mobile devices into payments terminals. No dedicated payments hardware is required.

Small-to-midsize businesses, as well as large enterprises, can accept card and digital wallet payments in-store or in the field. Beyond payments, the platform brings together inventory, customer management, and real-time insights in one intuitive experience. Onboarding is quick and easy, with transparent pricing from day one. Businesses can begin accepting payments within minutes, reducing setup time, logistics, and hardware costs.
