Scanning code payment is still growing rapidly!
What happened in the fourth quarter of last year? The volume of special merchants and POS machines has been greatly reduced. This is the negative growth of the first POS equipment. Hasn't the cardless transaction begun to subvert the payment market?
Last year was a severe year. The central bank’s last large-scale spot check included 57 banking financial institutions and non-bank payment institutions that carried out bank card acquiring business, including 24 banking institutions and 33 payment institutions.
A total of 171,845 merchants were inspected and 49,472 false merchants were identified, accounting for 28.79%.
It can be seen that it is the strong pressure of the regulatory authorities that the moisture of some of the original false merchants has been squeezed out!
At the same time, the rate reform last year has caused hundreds of thousands or even millions of low-rate POS merchants across the country to enjoy low rates!
This has also led departmental businesses to abandon POS machines!
