New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI) Financial technology major BharatPe on Thursday said it has grown to USD 2 billion (Rs 14,766 crore) in annualised transaction value in just three months after the launch, and aims to further increase this to USD 5 billion (about Rs 36,916 crore) by the end of the fiscal.

The point of sale (PoS) business now contributes to 25 per cent of the annualised transaction value, according to a statement.

BharatSwipe, the PoS machine from BharatPe, was launched in the second half of 2020. It is a first zero rental card machine that offers the merchants the option for zero transaction charges, and allows the merchants to accept payments from a range of credit and debit cards.

"In just about a quarter, our PoS business is now one-fourth of our annualised transaction value...our average daily active merchants on PoS are much higher than the industry average.

"We will be aggressively focusing on building this business as we expand to newer markets," BharatPe Group President Suhail Sameer said.

He added that BharatPe currently has close to 35,000 machines in the market and is targeting deployment of about one lakh POS machines by the end of the current fiscal.

"Also, we have recently launched cash advance loans based on the merchant's PoS transaction data and initial data looks very promising. We will be scaling this up in the coming months," he said.
