Newland NPT Enters Poland with PeP Partnership to Deploy Android SmartPOS Terminals

Quick Summary

Newland Payment Technology has entered the Polish market through a strategic partnership with Polskie ePłatności (PeP) to deploy Android payment terminals. This collaboration introduces the N950K SmartPOS, enabling Polish merchants to transition from legacy Linux systems to a scalable, remotely manageable Android-based infrastructure for faster updates and enhanced service.

How Does Newland NPT Solve Legacy POS Challenges?

Android payment terminals represent a significant shift away from traditional, rigid Linux-based hardware. By deploying the N950K, Newland NPT provides a flexible infrastructure layer that allows Polskie ePłatności to manage, update, and service thousands of devices remotely. This eliminates the need for manual on-site interventions, which are common with older systems.

• Android 12 OS provides a modern, secure foundation for payment apps.
• Remote management capabilities significantly reduce maintenance downtime.
• Longer device lifecycles ensure better ROI for merchant acquirers.

The N950K combines a physical keypad with a high-resolution touchscreen, catering to both traditional user preferences and modern digital interactions. This hybrid design is essential for high-traffic retail and hospitality environments where speed and reliability are paramount.

What Makes Poland a Key Market for SmartPOS Technology?

Poland stands as one of Europe’s most digitally mature markets for card payments. With 97.7% of cards being contactless as of 2025, the infrastructure must evolve beyond simple acceptance to offer value-added services. The partnership leverages PeP’s local market reach - as the second-largest operator in Poland - to scale Newland’s hardware rapidly.

• 284,000+ terminals already processed by PeP by the end of 2025.
• 100% contactless readiness across all existing Polish POS terminals.
• Rapidly growing demand for intelligent, scalable business growth tools.

"We are particularly pleased with the excellent results of this deployment and the positive feedback from our partners, as they confirm that the market is looking for solutions that are fast, intelligent, scalable, and ready to evolve. Our goal is to deliver products that not only strengthen customer service operations but also support business growth and offer a wide range of services." said Karolina Pająk, POS & Payments Products Development Director at PeP.

What Features Define the Newland N950K Terminal?

The N950K is designed as an all-in-one solution for attended payment environments. It supports a full suite of payment acceptance methods, including contactless, smart card (EMV), and magnetic stripe. Beyond payments, the device includes integrated thermal printing and camera functionality, making it a versatile tool for inventory and sales management.

• Multi-channel connectivity via 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
• Portable SmartPOS design ideal for cafes, restaurants, and retail.
• Integrated camera for QR code scanning and digital loyalty programs.

"This deployment is a key first step for Newland in the Polish payments market. PeP operates in a highly advanced payments environment, where providers need infrastructure that can be managed efficiently and adapted over time. Our role is to provide the Android terminal layer that helps partners service, update and scale their estates more effectively." added Alan Moss, General Manager, Europe at Newland.

FF NEWS TAKE:

Newland NPT’s entry into Poland via PeP is a calculated move into a highly sophisticated market. While many regions are still catching up to contactless, Poland is already optimizing for Android payment terminals to drive operational efficiency. This partnership moves the needle by proving that hardware providers must now act as infrastructure partners, offering the software flexibility that modern merchant acquirers like Nexi Group demand to stay competitive.
