Born in the cradle of UNICRE In 1986, under the name of Redunicre, a payment acceptance network that began accepting the first debit card issued in Portugal, the Totta Gold Card, REDUNIQ revolutionised and decisively simplified Portuguese business life.
Currently the largest payment acceptance brand in Portugal with more than 100,000 points of sale, both physical and online, REDUNIQ, with 100% national blood, is contributing to the growth of its thousands of customers by providing innovative technologies that keep pace with new consumer habits and demands.
We live in a highly globalised world, with more and more payment solutions on offer, but more than offering means, we need to know the specific needs of Portuguese companies and consumers in order for them to be truly effective.
Innovative payment solutions for Portuguese businesses
Attentive to the needs of Portuguese businesses and consumer behaviour, REDUNIQ is making available to the first two online payment solutions that allow them to stay ahead of the curve and attract customers in the competitive online market.
Online Payments: REDUNIQ@Payments and REDUNIQ E-commerce
For those who sell online without a website via, for example, social networks or marketplaces, REDUNIQ offers, thanks to its in-depth knowledge of the market, the REDUNIQ@Payments, a turnkey solution that not only has no membership costs, fixed costs or monthly fees, but also requires no integration, allowing you to receive online payments by e-mail, SMS, WhatsApp, via Visa and Mastercard, by Multibanco reference or MB WAY.
As for Portuguese online shops, i.e. those that sell via their own website, REDUNIQ's vision and national 100% heritage helped give birth to the solution REDUNIQ E-Commerce. As well as helping the online shop to receive online payments with Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards from customers all over the world, this solution has no membership costs or monthly fees and also allows payments to be accepted by Multibanco and MB WAY reference.
Contactless technology
Although in these new times online shopping is taking over Portuguese consumer habits, the truth is that traditional retail still reigns supreme in general. However, as with e-commerce, new payment trends are emerging. This is the case with contactless payments.
According to the knowledge solution REDUNIQ Insights, a contactless technology has acquired a decisive weight in the turnover of Portuguese businesses with an open door to the street in recent years. According to last report for the first half of 2022the weight of TPA using contactless means already accounts for 55% of the total turnover of businesses connected to the REDUNIQ system, 9% more than in 2021 and 30% more than in 2020. As for transactions, the figures are even more impressive, with contactless accounting for 74% of the total, 9% more than in 2021 and 22% more than in 2020.
TPA Android REDUNIQ Smart
Accommodating this growth in payments through electronic means contactless payment would only be possible with the help of innovative payment terminals and adapted to new consumer habits, as is the case with the TPA Android REDUNIQ Smart. As well as allowing a supermarket, shop or restaurant to accept contactless payment by card, chip, MB WAY, Google Pay and Apple Pay, this terminal comes with a set of built-in management apps that help businesses and allow them to be totally mobile and digital.
DCC - Payments in the Currency of Origin
Regardless of whether it's a online payment or a contactless paymentIt's inevitable to touch on the subject of tourism. After all, we are a country in which a large proportion of businesses pin their hopes for a good year in terms of turnover on the tourist influx.
Aware of this situation and in perfect harmony with the particularities of the Portuguese economy, REDUNIQ offers Portuguese retailers the following service DCC - Currency Conversion that now, in addition to helping foreign customers pay in their home currency at automatic payment terminalsis now also available on REDUNIQ's multiple online solutions.
Thus, in a transparent, informed and secure way, businesses can receive payments from customers all over the world, whether in physical shops or online, without any barriers or complications and with the added bonus of receiving additional revenue, since REDUNIQ shares the markup with the business.
Customer service in Portuguese
Diversified payment solutions adapted to the type of business and consumption habits of the Portuguese and a customer service in Portuguese, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year make REDUNIQ a national 100% brand that, more than sharing nationality, speaks the same language as Portuguese businesses.
