eService SA, the wholly owned acquiring arm of Poland’s largest retail bank, PKO Bank Polski SA, has installed its 50,000th POS terminal driven by Postilion in Poland.

Postilion is a leading provider of software solutions for self-service banking and payments and a division of S1 Corporation.

Since it was established in 1999, eService has used Postilion solutions to drive POS terminals and to acquire and switch card transactions on behalf of banks and card associations.

eService is one of the fastest growing merchant acquirers in Poland and one of the largest in Eastern Europe.  Today, eService owns approximately 30 per cent of all POS terminals in Poland and processes EMV-based card transactions, as well as those from contactless cards.

“The Postilion platform has allowed us to compete effectively in the Polish market,” said technology and research department director, eService, Maciej Maciejewski.

“Its flexible design and solid architecture allow new functionality such as contactless payments to be easily implemented. The system enables merchant management and configurations to be controlled centrally and offers comprehensive management information.”

“Postilion allows us to provide retailers with a highly reliable, secure, and fast transaction processing service. In addition, it allows us to innovate and differentiate ourselves from other acquirers,” said business department director at eService Wiesław Kosciukiewicz. – TradeArabia News Service
