Nearpays Bridges Global Energy, Credit Gaps using AI-Powered Soft POS

Image
  Posted by allcitynews.ng  Nearpays has announced an expansion of its AI-powered Soft POS system to support energy access and financial inclusion in emerging markets. The company aims to address the challenges faced by households and small businesses that cannot afford upfront payments for electricity, solar systems, or electric vehicle charging. Traditional banking and rigid payment infrastructures have often been unable to support the micro-transaction models required for renewable energy. Nearpays’ Soft POS system allows energy providers and agents to use any smartphone as a payment terminal, eliminating the need for specialised hardware or complex manual codes.  According to the CEO of Nearpays, Victor Daniyan, “Energy is a fundamental right, but the lack of a flexible, low-cost payment system often makes it a luxury. By deploying our AI-powered Soft POS, we are making it possible for a technician in a rural village or an EV station attendant in a city to accept inst...

Image

The  explanation is becoming imperative following the misconceptions from many people from  many quarters, who not only criticise the prayer,  "FALL  DOWN AND DIE" but believe such prayer is  focusing or is  an attack on human beings. According to  the Cleric, "We all  know  that  spirits don't die,  you  can only demobilise or deactivate their powers and operations ffrom people's lives. You can not kill spirit, but you can only make them ineffective towards your life and your affairs. "When we say "fall down and die, we are only addressing the evil powers behind problems confronting people, we are not telling human b...
