Here is an overview of the Key Announcements from Visa at GFF 2024:

HDFC Bank's All-in-One POS Device: HDFC Bank has introduced an all-in-one POS, a compact payment device for merchants that integrates point-of-sale (PoS), QR code scanning, and soundbox. As a network partner, Visa is collaborating with HDFC to accelerate acceptance at new touchpoints and increase digitization across a broader merchant base.

Paytm NFC Card Soundbox: Visa, in partnership with Paytm, has launched the Paytm NFC Card Soundbox — India's first two-in-one device combining mobile QR payments with an affordable card machine for offline merchants. This device facilitates payments via debit/credit card tap and QR code scan, simplifying transactions for millions of merchants.

Neo for Merchants by Axis Bank and Visa: Axis Bank, in collaboration with Visa and Mintoak, has introduced Neo for merchants — a comprehensive mobile app for payment acceptance, transaction reporting, and service requests. The app offers convenient and efficient omni-channel payment acceptance and offers valuable business insights to help merchants and small businesses grow, thrive and compete in a digital-first world.

PayU Push Provisioning Powered by Visa: PayU, in partnership with all major card networks, including Visa, announced the launch of its advanced 'Push Provisioning' platform. This solution facilitates seamless sharing of card tokens between merchants and banks via a unique-single platform.
