Powering Micro-Merchants With Smart, World-Class POS Solutions

Recognising these needs, African Resonance Business Solutions (Pty) Ltd and First National Bank (FNB) have partnered to deliver a powerful, world-class solution: GetPaid+.

A Game-Changer for Micro-Merchants

Originally developed by African Resonance as MicroPOS and now rebranded and deployed by FNB, GetPaid+ is an innovative inventory management platform designed specifically for micro-merchants. Today, more than 40,000 FNB POS terminals have the GetPaid+ application installed—underscoring a shared commitment to empowering these merchants with smart, efficient tools traditionally reserved for larger retailers.

Packaged in a simple, intuitive platform, GetPaid+ is redefining how small businesses operate, compete, and grow.

Why FNB GetPaid+?

GetPaid+ is more than just a payment tool—it’s a business-in-a-box solution that combines:

• Inventory Management – Create, categorise, and manage products with images for quick identification.
• Built-In Calculator – Eliminate manual errors and streamline checkout.
• Fast Basket Building – Add items with one touch and move seamlessly to payment processing.
• Integrated Payment Application: Ensures a smooth, frictionless transition from product selection to final payment processing.
• Real-Time Insights – Monitor sales, receive low-stock alerts, and generate end-of-day reports.

This queue-busting functionality is ideal for high-volume environments like markets or events, where faster checkouts mean more transactions and happier customers.

Donn Engelbrecht, Managing Director of African Resonance, explains:
“Android POS terminals are powerful devices capable of handling payments, invoicing, and a wide range of business functions. With GetPaid+, we’ve packaged these capabilities into an accessible, business-in-a-box offering that supports financial inclusion and empowers micro-merchants to operate more efficiently”.

Engelbrecht further states that “African Resonance values its strategic partnership with FNB, and together we plan to deliver more world-class innovations in the future.”

“GetPaid+ is a simple and yet powerful tool to help our merchants transform the way they run their businesses. With real-time stock level tracking and alerts, our merchants can eliminate overstocking and understocking which can be costly for any business. Our merchants can say good-bye to spreadsheets and guess work, with smarter, more efficient stock management. We’re excited that the GetPaid+ App can be accessed on the FNB Speedpoint device for free, another way we’re empowering more businesses to be unstoppable,” added Netsai Ngidi, Product and Solutions Head at FNB Merchant Services.

For merchants, the value is clear: faster checkouts mean more sales. For customers, it translates into shorter queues and a smoother shopping experience. By combining African Resonance’s technology with FNB’s trusted brand and extensive merchant network, GetPaid+ is transforming micro-merchant operations across South Africa—unlocking opportunities for traders to run smarter, operate faster, and dream bigger.
