What is BANCOMAT? (Italy only)

What is BANCOMAT?
BANCOMAT is Italy's own debit card scheme. It's one of the most widely used ways for Italian customers to pay in person. myPOS now accepts BANCOMAT, alongside all the major card networks it already supports.

Is BANCOMAT available for my business?
BANCOMAT is available now on myPOS Go 2, for in-store payments. We're soon extending it to Smart POS devices.

Why BANCOMAT matters
BANCOMAT is the debit card most Italian shoppers reach for first. Accepting it means every customer can pay the way they're used to, with nothing extra to think about at checkout.

How does it work for my customers?
BANCOMAT works just like any other card payment on your myPOS terminal:

  • Customers can tap or insert their BANCOMAT card. Both contactless and contact are supported.
  • The payment is processed the same way as any other card transaction.
  • The receipt clearly shows "BANCOMAT" as the payment method used.

There's no extra step, and no separate device needed. It all happens on the terminal you already use.

Why it matters for your business
Accepting BANCOMAT means a smoother experience for local customers, fewer declined or abandoned sales, and a checkout that feels familiar rather than limited.

Do I need to set anything up?
BANCOMAT works automatically on Go 2 terminals with the latest software update, at no extra cost. There's nothing to configure – just make sure your update is installed.
