The newly launched Octopus Mobile POS is designed for retailers and taxi drivers. When paired with a Bluetooth-enabled Android or iOS mobile device¹ with the Octopus App for Business installed, it allows customers or passengers to pay retailers or taxi drivers by tapping their Octopus on the Mobile POS display or scanning the Octopus QR Code on the display.
