More detail
Read the terms behind any free device. The questions that matter: do you pay a deposit, who owns the device, what happens if you cancel, and is the free hardware tied to a long contract? A genuinely free terminal has no upfront cost and a clear cancellation path.
With Veira there is no deposit and no long lock-in: plans are monthly, cancellation is allowed anytime, and the money-back guarantee covers the first 30 days. The terminal ships when your account goes live, so the shop starts selling compliantly from day one without a hardware budget.
Related questions
Is the free Veira terminal really free?
Yes. Every Veira plan includes the terminal at no upfront cost, with a built-in thermal printer and card and M-Pesa payments. You pay the monthly plan, from KES 2,999, and nothing for the device.
What happens to the free terminal if I cancel?
Check the terms of any provider on this. For Veira, see our dedicated answer on what happens to the terminal if you cancel; the short version is that cancellation is allowed anytime and the process is stated upfront.
Do banks give free POS machines in Kenya?
Some banks and payment providers issue card PDQ machines to merchant account customers, usually tied to transaction fees and account terms. Those are card terminals rather than full POS systems: they take payments but do not run stock, staff or eTIMS.
Veira gives Kenyan shops one calm app for selling, M-Pesa, KRA eTIMS and stock, with a free terminal. Book a demo and see it set up for your trade.
