Full independence

The ability to easily change or add a new acquirer without replacing the terminals already in use, with support for up to 7 acquirers.
Single point of failure

An outage affecting a single acquirer interrupts payment processing in the store.
Guaranteed continuity through redundancy

In the event of an outage, fallback automatically switches processing to another acquirer, helping to avoid potential lost sales hours.
Fixed commission rates

FAQ

What is the Cloud EFT Payment Hub (EuroKarta EFT)?
Cloud EFT (also known as EuroKarta EFT) is a proprietary, advanced Payment Hub solution designed for the centralized management and processing of cashless transactions. Operating in a High Availability model, the system acts as a secure bridge between Point of Sale (POS) terminals and acquiring banks (Acquirers). It is a fully redundant solution engineered to support critical payment infrastructure in the retail sector.
What business benefits does implementing Cloud EFT bring to a retail network?
Implementing the system translates into a measurable increase in point-of-sale efficiency through:
  • Business Continuity: Thanks to fallback mechanisms and redundancy, the system guarantees payment acceptance even in the event of a connection or acquirer failure.
  • Speed: Transaction processing in under 3 seconds, which directly reduces checkout queues.
  • Scalability: The ability to stably handle massive volumes—up to hundreds of thousands of transactions per hour during peak sales periods.
How does Cloud EFT ensure the security of payment data?
Security is the foundation of Cloud EFT. The system complies with the most stringent international standards:
  • PCI P2PE (Point-to-Point Encryption): Ensures full encryption of card data from the moment it is read at the terminal until it reaches the secure hub environment.
  • PCI DSS: Full compliance with the security standards of payment organizations (Visa, Mastercard). These certifications allow retailers to significantly simplify their own audit processes and minimize the risk of data breaches.
Is the system flexible across different industries and devices (Unattended)?
Yes, Cloud EFT is a cross-industry solution. It performs effectively not only in traditional retail (POS checkouts, self-service kiosks) but also in the Unattended sector. The system successfully manages payments in:
  • Parking meters and vending machines.
  • Parking management systems.
  • Info-kiosks and ticket machines.
The platform is hardware-independent, allowing integration with various payment terminal models.
How does Cloud EFT execute a multi-acquirer strategy (bank independence)?
One of the key advantages of Cloud EFT is its ability to support multiple acquirers simultaneously. This allows a retail chain to achieve:
  • Independence: The ability to easily change or add a new acquirer without replacing the existing infrastructure.
  • Cost Optimization: Routing transactions to the acquirer offering the best terms at any given moment.
  • Redundancy: In the event of a technical issue with one acquirer, the system automatically switches processing to another.
What modern payment methods and value-added services does the hub support?
Cloud EFT serves as a gateway to modern payments, supporting:
  • Contactless and Mobile Methods: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and wearable payments.
  • Local Systems: Full integration with BLIK.
  • Value Added Services (VAS): The system enables the implementation of additional services, such as Donateo (micro-donations to charity during checkout), allowing retailers to build customer engagement without modifying the POS logic.
