How to Get the Baxi Box POS and MPOS (BaxiMobile); Charges, Commission, All You Need to Know

Don’t confuse this product with ‘Baxi Boilers’ – they are two different things. Baxi Box is one of Nigeria’s leading names in the fintech and agency banking POS (Point-Of-Sales) sphere. They provide the typical cash-in/cash-out business plus a host of other value-added services like bills payments, money transfers, airtime recharge, and so on.

Baxi Android POS is the typical POS device that does all the applicable transactions on it’s own. MPOS is the handy device that looks like a simple calculator – an MPOS needs a phone on the side to help conclude some transactions.
