Over the last decade, South African fintech company iKhokha has developed digital payment solutions to empower small business owners.

iKhokha has just introduced a smart card machine to their range of payment solutions – the iK Flyer.

The iK Flyer comes preloaded with the iKhokha app and upgrades automatically as new updates become available.

While the launch version includes a stock version of the app, the device will soon have iKhokha’s exclusive business tools like iK Cash Advance, iK Vend and iK Pay Link.

The WiFi-enabled iK Flyer also has two built-in 4G SIM cards with unlimited data. This gives the business owner the power to switch between WiFi and two additional network providers to find the strongest network.

The iK Flyer includes a built-in thermal printer that prints physical receipts at high speeds. You can also skip printing and email a digital copy to the customer.

Unlike card machines with built-in batteries, the iK Flyer comes with a high-capacity battery that’s easy to remove and replace. This eliminates the need to reinvestment in a new device over time.

The iK Flyer is the only card machine in the mPOS (mobile point of sale) space to include a charging base that keeps it charged up and secure when not in use.

The smart device also includes a business management suite, making it easier for business owners to run their day-to-day. The device enables staff-switching and an admin overview of staff performance, business inventory and sales.

Ramsay Daly, iKhokha’s co-founder and Chief Product Officer, is eager to see this exciting innovation impact South African SMEs.

“The iK Flyer incorporates the best of iKhokha’s software products in one high-quality card machine and ensures business owners have all the tools they need to succeed in the South African business environment,” says Daly.

The iK Flyer is launching at a competitive price of R1999, including the charging base. For more on iKhokha’s devices and services, visit www.ikhokha.com
