Italian Postal Service Targets SMBs With QR Code Payments

Italian postal service Poste Italiane is introducing a new payments technology in an effort to attract more domestic small businesses, according to a report by Reuters. Poste Italiane’s new technology will be based on QR codes, which let buyers pay for things using their phones without the use of a POS terminal. Italy has been fairly adamant about the introduction of cashless payments; just last month, the country said it will give bonuses to people who eschew cash for electronic payment services.
