Moniepoint is gradually taking over the POS business in Nigeria due to its flexibility and affordability. If you dream of running a POS business in Nigeria, then think about Moniepoint, and I will explain why I recommend them later in this post.
We are going to discuss how to get Moniepoint POS for your business, the process and the charges involved. I will tell you everything you need to know about Moniepoint and why many POS agents use them.
What is Moniepoint?
Moniepoint is a digital mobile money merchant and payment processor designed to facilitate payments between banks and customers. However, when it comes to the point of sale (POS) business, they can be compared with the likes of Opay, UBA Moni, MoMo Agent, etc.
These POS devices are distributed to agents who have undergone a thorough Know Your Customer (KYC) process while also being licensed and validated.
One of the biggest challenges in the POS business is security but
Moniepoint and other POS machine providers ensure that these machines are well protected. Moniepoint POS has become people’s choice regarding this type of business. They have provided jobs and reduced the unemployment rate in Nigeria to a certain level.

The reason is simple, the agent is not with the phone used to register the POS and can’t receive alerts or may be afraid of being scammed with fake alerts. Moniepoint POS machines are programmed to instantly process any transfer made to the registered phone number instantly compared to any other POS provider.

How to transfer money to Moniepoint POS Account
Permit me to use this opportunity to guide some people on transferring money from the bank to a moniepoint POS machine. The reason is that I have noticed that money people don’t know how to do that because Moniepoint most times are not listed in the bank list in most bank mobile apps.
Let me use GTbank as an example, when you try to transfer from Gtbank world mobile app to moniepoint, you will not be able to see Moniepoint in the list of the banks, so what do you do?
Open your mobile app and log in with your details, click on transfer or send money, add the amount and account number, and the list of banks will be provided, look on the list to see if you will see “moniepoint microfinance bank”.
if you don’t see it, navigate to the end of the page and enter the first 3 letters of words like Mon and check the list of the bank again, you will see (moniepoint microfinance bank) select it and complete your transactions.
