What miaPOS is

miaPOS is a platform for accepting instant payments — bank-to-bank transfers that settle in seconds, 24/7, without card networks in the middle. Merchants accept the way it fits their flow (in store, on a website, in a chat, with an AI agent). The same API works across all of them.

The platform is split into two layers: a rail-agnostic core that speaks ISO 20022 to any instant-payment scheme (MIA in Moldova, RoPay in Romania, IPS in Montenegro, PI-SPI in WAEMU), and an acceptance layer with six product surfaces called paypoints.

Six paypoints

Each paypoint is a separate way the merchant accepts. Pick the one that matches your context — or use several:

  • Hardware POS — countertop terminal on Sunmi, SmartOne, Datecs, Ingenico, PAX.
  • SoftPOS — phone or tablet replaces the terminal (Android NFC, Web/iOS QR).
  • E-commerce checkout — REST API for any web shop.
  • Payment Links & RtP — tokenized URLs and pain.013 push to the payer's bank.
  • Conversational — Telegram checkout inside the chat.
  • Agentic — AIPS protocol for AI-driven purchases.

Who these docs are for

Three kinds of integrator:

  • Direct merchants — wire miaPOS into your own checkout or app via the E-comm API or a plugin.
  • ISVs and platforms — embed miaPOS as one acceptance option for your end-merchants. Multi-tenant model, revenue share.
  • Banks — white-label the whole acceptance layer on top of your instant-payment scheme.
