Dukka Limited, developer of a bookkeeping software, has launched its integrated Point of Sales (POS) terminal, a digital payment solution to the market aimed at enhancing financial inclusion among Africa’s small businesses.

Dukka explained in a statement that the terminal  has been designed to cater for small businesses in Nigeria and across Africa.  It also assured that the solution will enable small business owners to accept all types of digital payment methods, including card and bank transfers in-store and online, record sales, and view business performance reports.

The company notable for developing  software solutions for cash flow management, payment management, business analytics,  and transaction management disclosed that the newly launched  PoS terminal will enhance the cashless policy of the apex bank of Nigeria.

Keturah Ovio, chief executive officer of Dukka Limited while  speaking at the product launch in Lagos, noted that the company’s mission is to drive financial inclusion amongst Africa’s small businesses by providing them with the digital technology tools that will enable them to grow to become big businesses in the future.

“To this end, Dukka’s PoS terminal has been designed to enable small business owners to accept all types of digital payment methods such as card and bank transfers in-store and online, record sales, and view business performance reports,” Ovio said.

The CEO further emphasised that  the innovation is revolutionary at a time in the industry when the federal government of Nigeria is pushing its cashless policy, while stating that there has been a surge in the number of business owners demanding the PoS terminals.
