About SEQR
In the Seamless mobile payment solution, SEQR, consumers scan a QR code into the POS terminal, the web or the bill to approve that payment will be charged to their bank accounts. The QR code identifies the payment recipient connected to the Seamless transaction platform and consumers can pay directly from their accounts or via their credit cards. Thus the Seamless solution makes it possible for retailers to avoid the expensive charges imposed by credit card companies. The service is free of charge for consumers.
