Does Veira accept card payments?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

Yes. The terminal has NFC contactless built in, so it takes tap-to-pay cards directly, and card payments are processed through Paystack. Card sits alongside M-Pesa and cash in one interface and reconciles against the same eTIMS invoice.

More detail

You do not need a separate card machine on the counter. The contactless reader is part of the terminal, so one device handles the whole sale.

Whichever way the customer pays, the sale is recorded once and matched to its KRA invoice, keeping your books and compliance aligned.
