POS electromechanical sales were banned from 58 cities and marketed into new positions

After experiencing the clearing of the central bank, the online sales of POS machines became a hidden underground industry chain.

On September 30, the People's Bank of China issued the Notice on Strengthening Payment and Settlement Management and Preventing Certain Matters Related to Telecommunication Network Crimes (hereinafter referred to as “Notice”). No unit or individual may buy or sell POS machines (including MPOS) online. Acceptance terminals such as card readers, for the use of illegal transfer machines, the terminal that can not confirm the actual use of the terminal will stop the business function, banks and payment institutions should form an inspection report before November 30, 2016.

However, this website has learned that after the central bank issued a ban on network sales of POS machines, the POS agents who committed crimes against the wind were still in the minority.

Mainstream e-commerce "closed gate"

On the one hand, on the mainstream e-commerce platforms such as Jingdong, Taobao, Tmall and even the second-hand trading platform of Ali, the words “POS”, “MPOS”, “swipe”, “hand brush” and “receipt” have been blocked. Search for relevant content, Taobao and Tmall platform display is "in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and policies, can not display the relevant baby." On the other hand, Taobao and Tmall platform did not completely lose their functions during the POS sales process. This website learned from a pos agent that the agent who sold POS equipment in Taobao turned to POS printing paper. The sales of peripheral products such as POS chargers continue to expand, and the sales of POS machines are realized through the communication of Aliwangwang.

"But overall, the sales of POS machines in the mainstream e-commerce platform must have shrunk dramatically." A Taobao person told the website and admitted that Taobao will actively evade the illegal and illegal trading behaviors in the attitude of regulating the market. However, there is no way to completely evade the behavior of obtaining a substantive transaction through Ali Wangwang and making an online transaction.

There are countermeasures under the policy, and it has always been a long-term development routine for the third-party payment market. At the same time that mainstream e-commerce sales "closed gates", the second-hand trading website became the hardest hit area for agents to switch to POS sales.

Second-hand trading platform became the hardest hit area

From the frequency of publication of POS machine installation information on several second-hand trading platforms, the sales and installation information of POS machines has continued to grow in recent days.

The reporter searched for "POS", "swipe card" and other related words on the second-hand trading platforms such as the people, 58 city, and the market. It found that the people's network had correspondingly shielded the POS machines and card readers, and the "office supplies/ In the "Devices" and "Used Equipment" categories, you can still search for sales information for massive POS machines.

Only on November 1st, you can see the marketing information of dozens of POS machines, such as: "Le Fu seconds to mobile phone Bluetooth pos machine Yinjia wallet 0.5 seconds to; 0.49; 0.78; 1.25; 35 cap; no jump code; Tens of thousands of local merchants roll! One machine rate is 0.38 or 26 caps.” It can be seen that the transaction rate is not only based on the rate before the September 6 price change, but also without any evasive marketing. One machine multi-rate mode; another "Zhonghui 99 one, 0.6 seconds to, no jump code, stable account, non-flash payment, can do a multi-operator" and other information display, and "one machine more The behavior of the merchant itself is a violation of the law, so naked on the second-hand trading platform, the squad is comparable to the sales of POS machines.

“This is usually the spontaneous behavior of the agent. The agent has the original motivation of the extension. For the third-party payment institution itself, it is now in a sensitive period, and the demand for risk control and compliance is much greater than the profit. It is unlikely that the agent will be authorized to challenge the bottom line of supervision. A third-party payment vice president told the website.
