Dashpay Leads A New Era Of Modern, Hardware‑Agnostic Payment Acceptance Software

For many organisations, the rising complexity of managing multiple software stacks across diverse hardware platforms has become a significant barrier to scalability and innovation.

Dashpay, a subsidiary of JSE‑listed Araxi Ltd, is addressing this challenge through a Payment‑Software‑as‑a‑Service (PSaaS) model engineered to simplify and modernise payment acceptance at scale. Its platform offers a unified approach that removes dependence on proprietary systems and reduces operational overhead—while enhancing compliance, resilience, and merchant experience.

A Single Application Strategy That Redefines Efficiency

The industry has long been constrained by the need to deploy and support separate applications across different terminal brands. Dashpay’s hardware‑agnostic payment application eliminates this long‑standing complexity, enabling organisations to standardise software across diverse POS devices.

“Fragmentation across POS estates slows innovation and drives unnecessary cost,” says Benjamin Powell, CTO at Dashpay. “Our technology standardises the payment layer, allowing clients to scale rapidly, integrate seamlessly, and deliver consistent merchant experiences across all devices.”

This single‑application strategy significantly reduces certification cycles, simplifies support and maintenance, and streamlines terminal logistics—resulting in measurable operational efficiencies.

Modular Architecture for Rapid Innovation

Dashpay’s modular, service‑based architecture enables financial institutions to deploy new features independently from core payment functionality. This ensures that innovation can proceed at pace without introducing unnecessary risk.

Parameter-driven configuration allows banks and FinTech’s to tailor services to their specific environments, while third‑party developers can integrate once and deploy across multiple hardware types. This approach shortens time‑to‑market, enhances interoperability, and provides long‑term flexibility as market needs evolve.

Centralised Terminal Management Through UTMS

Supporting large terminal estates traditionally requires substantial on‑site operational effort. Dashpay’s Universal Terminal Management System (UTMS) transforms this by offering a single, centralised platform to manage, update, and monitor devices irrespective of hardware vendor.

UTMS provides:

• Real‑time diagnostics and performance monitoring
• Remote configuration and software distribution
• Unified oversight of multi‑OEM device estates

The result is enhanced uptime, faster resolution of incidents, and a more stable payment environment for merchants and consumers.

Compliance and Security as Cornerstones

With regulatory requirements tightening across regions, Dashpay ensures that its applications meet rigorous global standards. The company maintains an uncompromising focus on security, resilience, and compliance—providing clients with a trusted, certified foundation for payment acceptance.

Prepared for Global Expansion

Building on its strong footprint in South Africa, Dashpay is preparing to extend its PSaaS platform into new international markets. The company will participate at MPE 2026 in Berlin, a leading global forum for acquirers, merchants, and payment innovators.

Its presence underscores the company’s commitment to forming strategic partnerships and contributing to the evolution of payment acceptance globally.

A Future‑Ready Partner for Modern Payments

Dashpay distinguishes itself through:

• A single application deployed across multi‑OEM terminal estates.
• Hardware‑agnostic technology that removes vendor lock‑in
• A modular, service‑based platform enabling fast, risk‑managed innovation
• Parameter-driven configuration for adaptable, scalable deployments
• Centralised terminal management through UTMS
• Certified, secure payment applications trusted by leading banks and FinTech’s

As payment environments continue to evolve, Dashpay’s PSaaS model offers financial institutions a clear path to operational efficiency, technological agility, and global readiness. It represents a modern, streamlined approach to payment acceptance—designed for the next generation of commerce.
