Ingenico SoftPOS Powers JCC’s Digital Payments Expansion in Cyprus

Listen to this article

JCC Payment Systems, Cyprus’s leading provider of payment processing and fintech solutions, has long played a central role in shaping the country’s digital economy. With many small and micro-businesses still heavily reliant on cash, JCC saw the opportunity to broaden access to secure digital payments and help merchants modernize how they accept transactions.

Traditional payment terminals can present barriers for smaller businesses due to hardware costs, logistical hurdles, and limited flexibility. For merchants operating on tight margins or in mobile-first environments such as delivery, outdoor services, or seasonal trade, these challenges can slow the shift away from cash. JCC aimed to remove these barriers by giving merchants an affordable, accessible, and secure alternative that could accelerate digital adoption at scale.

To achieve this, JCC partnered with Ingenico to bring SoftPOS technology to Cyprus’s SME community.

What Is Ingenico SoftPOS?

Ingenico SoftPOS is a software-based payment acceptance solution that allows merchants to take contactless payments directly on the smartphones, tablets, or handheld devices they already own. By eliminating the need for dedicated payment hardware, SoftPOS lowers upfront investment and simplifies merchant onboarding. With support for both Android and iOS devices, it enables merchants to accept tap-to-pay transactions anywhere customers want to pay, while meeting the highest security standards.

For JCC, SoftPOS offered an efficient, scalable way to extend digital payment access across the island. By choosing Ingenico’s white-label solution, JCC could integrate SoftPOS seamlessly into its existing systems, ensure rapid time-to-market, and maintain a smooth user experience for merchants.

Scalable Delivery, Tangible Results

Ingenico supported JCC with a dedicated implementation framework, from technical integration to deployment and optimization. This collaborative approach ensured a fast rollout, full infrastructure compatibility, and reliable performance from day one.

The results quickly followed:

70% merchant activation rate across enrolled businesses
Over €2 million in monthly transactions processed via SoftPOS
Strong user satisfaction, with merchants recognizing the ease and convenience of the solution

With these outcomes, SoftPOS has proven itself a key enabler in Cyprus’s shift toward cashless payments, driving adoption among small and micro-merchants who previously lacked affordable digital options.

Customer Perspective

Ingenico SoftPOS’s innovative solution and their deep expertise in payments have helped JCC revolutionize the Cyprus market with cutting-edge technology. Thanks to their support, JCC has become the leading provider of tap-to-phone solutions in Cyprus. By leveraging Ingenico SoftPOS’s white-label solution, we expanded our reach to small and micro-businesses who are still relying on cash.
